Brake pads EBC or OEM FORD
On the 63S I spend 150 each Brembo rotor and 180$ EBC redstuff pads, hardware 10$, sensor 8$. These things are silly easy to do on the rear.
I have Speigler stainless lines, EBC pads, and Motion 5.1 fluid in mine.
Get the EBC RedStuff kit from FCP. I've had them on several cars and it's exactly what you describe. They held up to some AutoCross as well.
DBA 4000 T3 high-carbon rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads improved modulation for me significantly.
EBC Redstuff for the street, low dust keeps the wheels looking nice.
I got mine February this year, M5 F90, Pre-LCI (2019), just about 40k miles; Lovely car and I have been daily it. Just like other have said, get one that has been looked after and serviced. For me, it was an approved used and was just serviced before collecting it, it had new brake pads and discs, the OEM pads are awful and replaced them with EBC Yellow stuff brake pads, I would recommend if you ever need to replace pads.
I always used EBC black organic pads; I tried HH pads briefly a few times but never liked the feel, especially in the rain.
As an EBC Red owner myself. These pads are not built for abuse. Like at all. They're a sporty street pad at best.
Good to know EBC quality control still sucks. I had a pair of their pads come apart, literally the meat of the friction material sheared off the backing plate.
Avoid the EBC blue stuff pads with those rotors, in case you're looking. They're super squeaky, even after a couple thousand miles, and seem to tend to put deposits on the rotors that make them feel like they're warped.
