EBC Front

[jtoddk98]

At 39,500 miles, my front pads and rotors are just about done. Rears are still ok. I am looking into getting these EBC rotors and pads instead of stock http://autoplicity.com/products/4252461-ebc_s4kf1273.aspx
Are these good? They are around the same price as stock ones, my dealer quoted me $326 to do just the fronts. How long will these EBCs last?

Curious as well

I love them. I only have about 6,000 miles on them so far but no issues as of now.

are they much better then stock? Did you do just the front or all around?

I wonder how the cooling compares on these vs stock. The design of our rotors is specific to the sho and Explorer Sport, and flex.

Quoted from motor trend.

" The SHO's brakes were co-developed with those for the new Taurus police package, and they're shared with the Flex. The front rotors are of an "inverted-hat" design (see photo), and they weigh 11 pounds more than the ones they replace. That's actually the point--increase thermal mass so the rotors take the heat while the pads (and hence brake fluid) stay cool. Note that they are not cross-drilled--that just removes thermal mass. To tune for this added weight, the lateral bushing compliance in the front suspension was reduced by 30 percent, improving overall turn-in responsiveness."

Very true on the 2013+ not so on the 2010-2012 models...our brakes suck.   I have the EBC Red Stuff and rotors and they are a nice improvement over stock.  I get a tiny bit of "whoosh" noise from the slots at slow speeds but it is barely noticeable.

Ahhh yes. Forgot about the previous gen brakes. I'm surprised no one has tried to do a swap to 13's. I wonder if they will bolt up.

You mean something like this?  http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,609.0.html

Besides, upgrading just the rotors/pads to aftermarket (EBC, Hawk, Power Stop, etc)  has made a big difference for most owners.

mine is a '10 put on ebc slotted w/red stuff all around about 1 year ago, no issues whatsoever & a huge upgrade to stock as far as i'm concerned

[wasinger3000]

Wonder why ford waited till 13 to upgrade eveything. I would assume after 10' it was quite obvious the car needed a few performance enhancements.

Big improvement over stock in all areas, pedal feel, stopping power, resistance to warping.

Just finished installing ebc usr7510 front rotors and dp31767c pads.
Here's a pic of the non PP dp31825c pads on top
And the PP dp31767c on the bottom.
I do not have PP but the pads went in just fine.
I'll have some installed pics tomorrow.

I never tried the Ebc brand brakes,other pads I needed to follow a strict break in procedure especially when install of new front rotors and pads,to avoid a shimmy,let us know how you like them.

EBC are very good. I have the PowerStop. The stock PPbrakes/rotor bit the dust at 25,000mlies I have 40,000 miles on the pwrstop! I had the oil change and pads checked yesterday, pstop start with 75mm pads and are still 45mm on them now!!!! AND I AUTOCROSS!!!! about one time a mouth.

[jtoddk98]

Ordered them last week. Should be here tomorrow. Any break in procedure for these? Or just drive like normal
