Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM FORD
I have front and rear power stop pads and rotors on my scat, and oem brembos on my rt both 4 piston calipers and the difference is not noticeable. I beat these brakes down and have never had an issue
My powerstop have no stopping issues in my scat
I had EBC pads and I don’t think they are worth the premium price in comparison to the powerstop. I actually went back to powerstop. I’ve also had the stop tech rotors and once again I don’t feel much difference between the two. I don’t track my car so they may be something different but for everyday driving and safety I trust the powerstop. I had ebc on my Audi as well but now I even use powerstop on it because I didnt feel the ebc were worth the premium for everyday driving. On my scat I currently have demon performance rotors and use powerstop pads.
I have used POWERSTOP Brake pads and rotors with good results. Available on Amazon.
For the price and quality I like PowerStop pads and rotors. Their carbon cermic pads and I opt for the drilled and slotted rotors. Had them on my truck and towed 10,000lbs. Have them on my wife's CX5.
I had the same problem on my 2021gt500 and the dealer put in new pads, solved the problem.
I've been very happy with them on the street. I hardly ever notice dust. When it's cold they sometimes squeak getting out of the driveway, but never more.
We bought a 2011 Ford Focus everything looked good, drove well. I took it in for a service and front brake pads were down to 2mm. Cost me $1050 for an essential service and repair but now I have peace of mind.
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.
The front and rear pad kits were wrong. The shims for the front pads did not fit and the rear pads were for my model WITHOUT electric parking brake. The rear pads have rivets in the way on the inner pad which interfere with the solid piston.
