Brake pads Brembo or OEM FORD

I got GT PP brembo brakes from shelby for ~500 dollars, including shipping. New front pads and rotors on them too.

Brembo or Better Bosch for reliability for more dustless brakes.

I’m running Wagner oe+ on the rear = 160

Brembo pads = 60

Oem on the front 160 each on prl

Hawks 150

Did it all myself so roughly 700 and it feels better than it was before

Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.

I went with Brembo OE ceramic pads and their cross drilled rotors. Bit better bite than stock, IMO. Not very noisy and dust is about the same as stock

I've always used Brembo as long as it's available. In my experience, it's always been an upgrade to use brembo branded pads and when changing cars. No noises, nice feel, predictable. I don't do any hard driving, like track days or anything, but for road trips across mountains with full loads and all types of weather, they always gave me confidence.

I had the same problem on my 2021gt500 and the dealer put in new pads, solved the problem.

Is it a reasonable price? No not really. Can you just do it at home in the driveway? If you have a driveway, and it's nice if you have someone around who's done it before who can remind you to do things like properly torque the bolts instead of just "by feel" if you're new to this, or add a little anti-seize on the hub so you can get it off in 5 years, without giving you silly quirky advice like a lot of YouTubers like to do to try and make themselves slightly different. What _should_ you do? My suggestion is call a few local shops (even Ford dealerships if you want). Tell them you've got some rotors and pads (order some standard ones off of Rock Auto) and ask what they would charge to install it. Call 5 places, ignore the most and least expensive ones, and if the remainders pick the one you like the look of (check online reviews, see how long they've been in business, etc). Every mechanic has been changing brakes since they were 12, but you want one who looks like they care about their work. A good mechanic with a 2 post lift should be able to do a Mustang brake job in like 20 minutes if they tried to. They'll actually take about an hour and be careful about it. They'll charge you some "standard" hours regardless of clock time because they need to pay for their shop etc. It's cheaper to do it yourself, but not everyone _wants_ to do it themselves, or trusts themselves to learn something from YouTube videos that their life depends on every day.

Did you upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors? I did brembo metallic pads and brembo drilled n slotted in my e46 and they felt like that from the rip. Keep in mind if you’re upgrading to something that is meant for tracking then u kind of sacrifice comfort.

Every GM performance car I’ve had squealed until I dumped the OEM Brembo pads.
