Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM FORD
I’ve tried nearly every pad on the list here and for a dual duty casual track and street car without needing the change pads I have found the stoptech sport and carbotech ax6 good if you don’t want to swap pads which is better for a first timer in my opinion. Otherwise ferodo ds2500 and the other ones in this thread are good if you get more experienced given time. The carbotech ax6 I am selling a set if interested brand new in box but they are expensive as are many suggestions on this list. The nice things about the stoptech is they are a true do all pad that is cheap as well!
Had this on our Ford Kuga £860. Did it myself although I already have all the tools for £280 all round.
For mixed street and track use, I haven’t found a better pad than Stoptech 309. Lots of dust, but no noise on the street and they will take an absolute beating on track (for a street pad). Great modulation at mid temps, low and high temps are acceptable.
Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.
Stop tech sport brake pads have been great to me.
I replaced them both with stoptech pads and rotors. Good quality and price.
I run Stoptech 305s and they exceed my expectations
changed my OG set at 120k currently just under 140k.
Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain
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.
