I'm preferential to the Raybestos ST47 up front and 43 in the rear. The thing I like about the Raybestos is that they don't really need "bedding" and they don't care about what transfer layer is already on the rotor, so they really are a "throw them on and go" type of pad. Totemo races on GLOC and likes those as well. The problem you'll face on stock rotors/calipers is that without brake ducts you'll struggle with sustainability.

Get brake ducts, especially if you add more power or more tire - you'll find that without ducts you'll fade/melt any pad you put on the car.
Where you getting abs/lockup in the rear with ST47's front and rear? That was the setup I was probably going to run.
