For this season I'll be running a combo of Ferodo DS3.12 in the front and a Hawk DTC-60 in the rear.

I ran stock ZLE Brembo/Ferodo pads all the way up until my laptimes were in the top 3 percentile at T-bolt. It took 15 minutes of having a passenger in the car to get them to misbehave on one occasion at a track with multiple hard braking zones. In the ZLE, OEM brakes are better than most people's ability -- tires are likely the wild card.

For SS-1LE, my buddy Greg (MECHANICALENG) on this forum has had great success with the Hawk pads. DTC-70/DTC-60 combo. He would have been even faster with a true R comp but he opted to stay with 200tw tires for budget reasons.
