I think the 68's are Bendix single piston while the 1965 - 1967 Shelbys were the Kelsey Hayes 4 piston front brakes.

For normal driving I would get some Carquest Gold pads. No noise issues or excessive dust. Best to true up the rotors.

If you can find ceramic go with those. They are cleaner running.
If you are going to track your car I still have a set of carbon composite pads and correct shoes that have the same material they use to stop the space shuttle. I knew a guy making the brakes for Saleen when they were won the Showroom Stock championship. Competitors were puzzled by how long the brakes lasted. He did a few sets for GT350s back in the day.

On our street driven '67, I installed brake pads front and rear from Cobra Automotive and highly recommend.
