I think the Fiesta actually has great brakes, even for its size. The only reason I would upgrade is to fight brake fade. That means new pads, fluid, hoses, and potentially a BBK (for heat dissipation ONLY, at the cost of more unsprung mass). The previous owner beat the brakes to an inch of their life so I swapped out new EBC Yellowstuff pads and EBC slotted discs, along with Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Braided hoses are in the garage waiting to go on at the next service. All in all a nicely sorted setup.

Pros: nicely sorted setup
Cons: brake fade

EBC pads/rotors and motul fluid. I've spent entire weekends hooning Tail of the Dragon with this setup... zero complaints/concerns.

Pros: zero complaints, good for track

EBC Brake pads

I HIGHLY recommend (if you can afford) getting the brembo bbk. I am running EBC Yellowstone pads and they add a very aggressive and satisfying initial bite as well.

Pros: aggressive bite, satisfying

Just here to say I have them also, and they did quiet down. Remember these are a step up in the performance pad world so there are going to be trade-offs. They actually wish I had gone with a more aggressive pad but considering it's 99% street driving they are pretty great

Pros: quiet, good performance

EBC Brake pads

I have EBC Bluestuff on my M4. I think they are a good hybrid pad, and fine for sprint or autocross, but they will melt as an endurance pad. Sessions longer than 30 min on brake heavy courses and they will glaze.

Pros: good hybrid pad
Cons: melts in endurance
Vehicle: BMW M4
