Brake pads Carbotech or OEM FORD

I had the same problem with my c8 z51, I switched to the Carbotech 1521 pads and they solved the problem. Would definitely recommend

I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.

I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).

Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”

Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.

I paid $750 for it in 2007. It had a lunar odometer (north of 400,000) and the gas gauge stopped working so you had to write the mileage on a sticky note and slap it on the dash. The seat belts were *sawed off* and all the safety features deactivated. The brakes were high-dollar Brembos and I owned it for three years as a scrap hauler and fishing access get-to-er. I sold it for... $750. To a teenager. He probably still has it. 91-95 F-150 for life. Those things were TANKS and will survive the apocalypse, same with the Chevy 1500s of the day, especially the Silverados.

Carbotech has served me very well on my M6

I run carbotech 12/10 on my C5. Streetable but messy. I only really drive to track, on track, then home. Probably drive 100 street/leisure miles a year, but after 2 track days on this setup (wilwood aero6 in front) I’m very happy with the setup.

I'm liking the Carbotech 1521 pads for their better heat tolerance and modulation over OEM pads, though I feel light initial bite is slightly less.

I bought a bike off a coworker and took it in to be serviced. Turns out the bike I bought was the equivalent of a model T Ford. They didn't make the brake pads for my model any more kinda old.

Fiesta ST brakes are terrible. Just replace the discs and pads....again....
