Ford Brakes

When it comes to performance, your Mustang's braking power is arguably just as important as how fast you can get up to speed.

There are a number of trade-offs when it comes to brake pads specifically. A brake pad will have an ideal operating temperature. Street pads typically have a low operating temperature. What this means is that the stopping power will be optimum when the brakes are cold (you can stop well as soon as you pull out of your driveway). The downside of this is that as temperatures go up, the brake pads "fade," losing braking power.

Track pads, on the other hand, have high operating temperatures, requiring a much higher temperature in order to experience "brake fade." Some common downsides of track pads is noise (squeeling sound) and added brake dust.

Another consideration for brake pads is how aggressive they are. Less aggressive pads tend to last longer, where more aggressive pads not only wear out sooner, they also eat up the rotors more quickly.

Our four-piston front Mustang brake kit is great for use on both the road and track, while our six-piston kit adds even more performance for the track with added thermal capacity and increased pad stability under intense braking.
