Brake pads EBC or OEM FORD

Gen1 here but just put on ebc rotors and pads all around.. fit great/work great. Have used ebc for years no issues.

In the end I went for EBC yellowstuff, this kit specifically:

If you want better stopping power, you could use ebc pads.

Ebc Green Stuff Pads and Rotors

I installed the same pads, much better than the OEMs. If you want you also don't have to reinstall the pad clips. The thin brass looking things. Not installing them makes it easier to see your pads and how much meat you have left. Also makes changing pads much quicker. The negative is that you might hear your pads rattle a little at first. I haven't noticed after the first couple of days.

EBC green stuff with EBC sport rotors if I remember correctly. They were easy to install and they've been great for about 5 years now.

I’m running nicer blank rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads currently. It’s super nice when they’re all warmed up, but they are a bit dusty

I have run both 21 and 11 with an EBC bbk for mk5 Supra. The 21’s had way too much bite imo, the Mu is .65 which was the highest I had ever ran. I think they’d be great with slicks but I run street tires. ABS would trigger about 3/4 pedal travel, not fun. I switched to SR11 and was much happier. In terms of bite they felt much better on street tires. I can still get into ABS but I’d have to brake really hard which is where my muscle memory is anyways. Both pads were easier to modulate than what I came from(csg c21). I do enjoy the drastic reduction in bedding as well. I haven’t had issues with fading but I’m also running them with 15” rotors and have OEM cooling ducts so ymmv.

EBC yellow. I once fitted shit pads because it's all I could get hold of when I needed them. I completely used a set of rear pads in 1 trip to wales and experienced what total brake fade feels like on a Welsh mountain with a fully loaded Land Rover and it wasn't fun.

2022 Atlas SEL is fhe Worst automobile ive ever had (as an adult). Brakes are horrendous and seems ive had more service issues than i’ve ever had to deal with owning Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota.
