My Ford C-max hybrid has 113k miles on it. It's engine has around 80k miles on it. I change the oil like once a year. I've never touched the brakes because it barely uses them.
Had this on our Ford Kuga £860. Did it myself although I already have all the tools for £280 all round.
changed my OG set at 120k currently just under 140k.
I have a 2016 ST3, 114k miles, OEM brakes at 6mm or so, I mostly do highway.
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.
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 have run Wilwoods on my Corrado for years with the usual rebuilding every two years. Even with ABS under full braking using the BP10 pads it would occasionally lock up fully and blow a cogged belt off the supercharger.
I don't know much about Stop-Tech, however, I have heard from a friend that used Wilwood that these perform best in non-Winter driving conditions. He said that over time they will not stand up as well as a Brembo set up. It might be worth noting what climate (Alaska vs California) that you spend most of your driving time in as well when factoring a BBK upgrade. I also noticed that you are quite new to this group so allow me to introduce you to the member who will derail all original posts into something else to the point where your thread may get locked up.

GoGo Golf R said: Ok let's try to agree on the following: 1) Upgrading the brakes is mostly justified for track driving purposes No, Personal preference. 2) Changing the brake pads will reduce dust for street driving Depends on your pad choice 3) Changing the brake pads, rotors and brake lines is pricy Subjective 4) The OEM brakes, while not totally ideal for every driving style, will suffice for average street drivers and some track drivers Depends on your driving style 5) Downshifting with correct rev-matching, will extend the duration and reduce wear on the brakes Yes because replacing your clutch is much cheaper than new pads :screwy:
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.
The more I drive it the more and more the brakes squeak horribly. The brakes look fine and it stops on a dime, but man the squeaking is so loud and embarrassing. The car is just so new at only 5,000 miles to already have issues really disappointed me. Especially on how expensive they are and already has issues.
