Brake Pads

[spawnosuk]

Hi,

I wonder if you guys across the pond can help me.

I have an ecoboost 2017 with the small brake FoMoCo calipers. Large at the front small at the rear. Ford here aar being useless and could not source the part number as Ford USA is different.

My car is USA import. I had it in Canada before I moved back to the UK. I have several places here that can do it for me but not in the time frame I need.

At the moment I can find lots of places to sell me the pads here in the UK. But as the UK spec Mustangs All came with the brembo upgrade I am not sure they will fit.

Can anyone here post me a picture of what the EB standard brakes rear pads look like. ITs a little urgent as I have a driving holiday in 10 days and need to find a way to get them fitted.

This is my Rear Caliper. Yep they dirty. I am getting all new rotors and pads fitted and refurbing my Calipers but its all after this holiday. Please help

IIRC base EB cars have solid rear rotors.

You have vented rear rotors. So you probably have the EB performance pack brakes.

EB performance pack brakes are simply base GT brakes.

You are looking for base GT/EB performance brake pads.

Pics may not be enough to guide a purchase as base and GT/EB PP pads look similar, with most of the difference being in thickness.

Thanks for your reply. Yes my eb has the performance pack.

I suppose I was hoping someone on the USA side could post me a link to the correct pads for my car. So I can compare them to ones available here. And yes I have noticed that there are two that lol very similar but different thickness.

I'm assuming then the thinner ones are for my car as the vented disc is thicker?

Motorcraft BR-1793 is what I see for the GT rears.

I'm not sure if it would be thinner as I believe the sliding portion of the caliper is also wider on the PP cars.

There are pics of BR-1793 here:

Thanks so much for your replies. Its a painful process. Base brakes, PP brakes, GT brakes, Brembo brakes. Never knew it would be so hard to lock down replacement pads.

I am sending your link to the shop here to try to get confirmation.

And again. Thankyou for taking the time. ITs much appreciated

No worries. Hope you get that sorted out!

 

[spawnosuk]

I got it sorted and ordered some pads. Its a short term fix. Im about to have my Rotors, pads and calipers all updated with some new wheels. Was time she got some love after the transpport from canada.

Thanks again. you helped me a lot.

Good to hear!

What are you upgrading to?

 

[spawnosuk]

A few things:

Some 20" Project 6GR 7 in gloss black
Uprated Calipers from the GT pack in yellow ( brembo )
New vented slotted rotors

Basically upgrading all the corners. Then ill get about upgrading the power.

I see on here that others in the UK, as well as many in the US, order their parts from Benny at Levittown Ford in NY. They apparently price well and ship well. Fortunately I have not needed any parts yet, so I cannot confirm. Levittown is also a forum member.

Sounds like a plan! Good luck with the mods.

Yes heard good about Levitown and they support the forum too.
