Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.
Using ATE rotors and ceramic pads on my mk6. Very little dust. Still has very good bite compared to other standard OEM pads.
The oldest I've used as a daily is my '55 Ford. Could stand to get some brakes on it, but otherwise it was fine.
I'm running Redstuff as well - they are OEM compatible.
I put brake pads on my father-in-laws Ford Taurus and put a sticker as such on the rear bumper.
I don't believe you lose cold temperature bite with good OEM replacement ceramic pads like from ATE.
I have Bendix/Zimmerman rotors and stock ATE/Brembo SM pads and pound the living s**t out of the brakes on Track Days and HPDE ( instructor ). Other than a bit of fade after about 6 laps of HARD braking I've had zero issues. Pad life and condition is still excellent.
I'm definitely sold on ATE parts. They are the OEM on my GTI and have 49,000 miles on all the original pads and rotors, plenty of life left.
Focus ST: Con -Using brakes to offset torque steer a bit lame. And contributes to crazy brake dust
I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
