Thank you all for the suggestions! I ended up going with Gloc R12 in the front and R10 in the rear. They performed flawlessly! I could smell the brakes a couple times while on track so they definitely got hot, but no issues. Swapping them back to street pads and new rotors this weekend. I’m curious how the pads look. Hopefully no cracking or delamination on the pads as I’ve seen in some other posts.
This was a helpful result. That I you for posting.

I have run stock brakes for 4 days at Mid-Ohio and am about to remove and inspect thickness for a possible day on 9/27 and then 2 days at NCM 10/2-3 and I don’t want to run out of pad. I was considering replacing the pads just for the upcoming days. To another poster’s point, the stock 350R FP brakes are great! No fade at all after repeated 140 to 60 mph slowdowns.

One thing I do suggest to all is get your G-Locs pre-bedded as it seems one always needs to slap a pair on at the track and doing a proper bedding is out of the cards. The other situation is doing a correct bedding for almost any pads can be a tough situation for many with time constraints or traffic conditions - just my humble opinion.

I agree, and forum sponsor OP Mustang usually has what I need and all R compounds he carries are pre-bedded.
