You've stumbled onto one of the problems with the Granada
spindle swap - lack of performance brake pads. I've been
involved in the aftermarket for most of my 46 years and
the standard response provided by friction manufacturers
is that the cars were never "performance" to begin with.....
Your FMSI # is D91 and there isn't a lot of product to pick
from with that pressure plate.
Try Porterfield Enterprises (porterfield-brakes.com). Either
an R4-S or a Z-compound for the street and they'll suggest
something more spectacular depending upon track intent.

Here in Seattle we have two (or more) shops that specialize in putting friction materials on clutches and brakes. I can take my good cores to them and have most any friction material put on any pad, shoe or clutch disc. see if there are similar places in your local Yellow Book and give them a call. you don't have to rely on parts stores.
