I'm looking at some new brakes (Rotors and Pads) for my 2011 SHO. Factory ones are starting to vibrate a lot when slowing down from high speeds and its getting old... fast.
I'm pretty sure i want to go with RED or YELLOW EBC brake pads, but i'm looking to see what you guys recommend for Rotors?
I don't take my SHO to the track, but I do enjoy an agressive drive every now and again. Plus the 5 o'clock rush hour traffic is bad with bumper to bumper fast stop and go. I was looking around at the StopTech Slotted rotors, but i'm only finding the Slotted and Drilled. Should I be worried about the drilled rotors based on my driving style?
Thanks in advance!
pe:
from what i researched on a dd when i was looking about a year ago, the drilled over time could weaken rotor plus make a lot more noise. i've had ebc slotted w/ red pads on for over a year & like the setup very much. also the red portion of pad shows very little & if you wanted to be anal you could paint that portion with black calipher paint.
Thanks for the heads up. If i can't get slotted only all around (only seeing rears on most sites online), I'm looking at one of the 2 sets below

I have nothing but good things to say about EBC. There rotors are of very good cast iron, I've have mine for over 3yrs and very little rust on hat or vents. Most other rotor are literally rusting to pieces by now. And they non slotted rotors as well.
Thanks for the info Crash! Thats what i'm ideally looking for. Something that lasts!
pe:
I have ebc slotted all the way around. I know i paid more but got from
ebcrotors.com to make sure that i got the right ones & they had stock. some of the places that deal in ebc are cheaper but don't stock. chris is very knowledgeable about our sho, so when i bought mine i took into account that he had them.
OK, so I went to EBC website to check out their options, and I added ultimax rotors all around and red pads all around for a whopping $755.xx....... so I went to Amazon and typed in each model # and added the same things to my cart and I got a total of $568.xx..... on ECB website it says that those part #'s will fit my 2011 SHO, but when I go to Amazon, it says that it will not fit my car. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the subject so I can hopefully save $200.00
^^^^^^ I was just going to post this!!!!! ^^^^^^^^^
my theory is that is part numbers line up, we're gonna have a good day. lol.

Exactly.... if part #'s match..... there should be no reason they won't fit.... and we save $200.... seems like a no brainer. :-) Looks like I am going Shopping
Order placed.... I guess I can be the Guinea pig in this case and see if these things fit! :) haha. I sure hope so!
Just a heads up.
Here are the 2 different ebc red stuff pads
Top is non performance package
Bottom is performance package.
My 2010 did not have pp but the pp pads work just fine.
Awesome! Can't wait to see the results. I've got to wait a week anyways before I can order mine....boooo!!!!
Here's a pic of the rear installed
Please stay away from autoplicity!! Many bad reviews from this forum alone.
Auto anything is good to go, they will price match just about anyone.
Looks like 4dr needs to get some brake parts on EPP....
ideally if autoanything will match autoplicity, i'm good. i've found these (http://autoplicity.com/products/4252461-ebc_s4kf1273.aspx (http://autoplicity.com/products/4252461-ebc_s4kf1273.aspx)) & (http://autoplicity.com/products/4252917-ebc_s4kr1204.aspx (http://autoplicity.com/products/4252917-ebc_s4kr1204.aspx))which i plan on ordering in the next week or so. but if autoanything will match it. I'll just go with them.
Their estimated ship date is bs, so are all the great reviews about the customer service.
When I didn't receive my brakes for about a month I asked to cancel my order..... Took almost another month to get my money back. And that's with me getting paypal involved. ....., you've been warned....stay far far away from Autoplicity.
Autoplicity.com = Avoid http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=3147
Are you sure there is no difference in the pads? The pistons still hit center of the pad?
It just seems that there is a clear difference in shape. On the other hand, I thought the pp only got a rotor upgrade.
PP only had a pad upgrade.
I've got about 3k on my current setup with no problems.
I'd get the EBC slotted brakes. I got mine from autoplicity.com. Love the setup, much better then the stock ones.

I test drove a cinnamon 2010 but walked away due to the brakes.
2013+ are fantastic.
It seems to most economical solution is ebc red with ultimax slotted or on the expensive end wilwoods seem the best bet but the cost of that seemed in the extremes to me.

2013+ have a different brake booster/ master cylinder.
Which completely changes pedal feel
How much does it cost to redo brakes entirely? Think I've seen some wilwood set ups with new master cylinders.

Anyone ever order from http://www.placeforbrakes.com/index.php (http://www.placeforbrakes.com/index.php) ?
Ended up going with "PlaceForBrakes" got the Stage 4 set (EBC Slotted with Red Pads) for front and back for around 570. Got the official invoice today and seems that the rear pads are on backorder from the UK. 3 week wait. I also heard the same with EBCRotors if i'm not mistaken also.
Fingers crossed ...
I did PowerStop drilled and slotted front and rear rotors and Akebonos for the pads and I love them so far. No noise, excellent braking, no brake dust. PLUS.. they are easier to warranty if there are issues so consider that also. Good luck!

I'm considering the Powerstop "Top Cop" package, any specific details on your experience would be appreciated.
Also please update your signature line with the pertinent details of your ride.

I just went to EBC website, and then found which parts went to my car, and then copied and pasted into amazon. I will try and find the links when I get out of work

My car is a PP but the nonPP BRAKES are the same but for the up-graded pads! The PowerStop are a 1000s time better than the stock PP!!!
They look good on there SHOMAN04,what are the pads semimetallic or ceramic and how about the dust levels,i like the slotted and drilled combo compared to the drilled which are vulnerable to cracking??

Thats the same setup which i had on my other car,great stopping power and very quiet and very low dust on the ceramic pads,compared to the oem which get dirty after a week of washing them,good choice.
Fronts come in tomorrow! I have a feeling i might just wait to put them on once the rears come in (still on back order) after reading this article http://www.ebcredstuff.com/bedding_in_ebc_brake_pads.html (http://www.ebcredstuff.com/bedding_in_ebc_brake_pads.html)

keep up with the updates your my trial run as i plan on getting same brakes from that supplier need to find a freight forwarder though
Also keep tabs with "SHO-TYM" he already got his set in. I'm not too sure how it all works with shipping to Canada. But I can tell you was shipping was free for me, VIA UPS, From Las Vegas, NV.
I am planning on putting the new rotors and brakes on this afternoon as long as my plans don't change. I have been really busy lately, and haven't had time to knock this out. but it is killing me to look over in the living room and see 4 boxes of goodies begging me to put them on..... SO I will keep everone updated with pictures, before and after.
Please do, figure the front will take about an hour or so. But i'm unsure on how long the back's will take. Given the E-brake/parking brake has been a royal pain for me in the past on other vehicles.
Regardless, I'm quite giddy right now to see how it turns out!!!!!!

Having the appropriate tool to turn the piston and press it in at the same time makes changing the rears as easy as the front.

apparently i need to find a freight forwarder. I dunno whats up with that but 650 is just crazy good for me. when i price it out else where its 850-1200 atleast. Ive noticed my brake feel is a little weird like a rotor is out of wack so i wanna fix it before the winter
Just a heads up, just realized that my amazon pads ended up being for the pp SHO.... I looked at my new rotors after my test drive, and the pads aren't touching the whole rotor.... the pads have a different shape. I don't know if this is a bad thing or not....

They feel ok when stopping, there is a slight squeel when I start applying brakes.... but other than that, they feel even and strong.

It is a little crazy that the non PP pads have more surface area than the non PP pad.... seems like that should be the other way around.
Maybe that top layer is just a little thicker on one side. I imagine the side showing more use is the side that meets the spinning rotor first. If they're stopping decent with no pull, not broke don't fix it? Lol
If they stop fine and there is no pull i wouldnt worry,there is always going to be an uneven side when rubbing against the rotor,until you break them in,visit EBC site for break in and bedding procedure,thats why you have the squeak,make sure not to stop completly when doing the process,good luck.
That's actually my pic I took of the difference in pads.
I thought it was strange also, they will squeal/rattle a little until bedded or broken in. Also the dust will be heavy for a few weeks.
But once they fully brake in its like throwing out an anchor compared to stock setup.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
my guess is the pads will eventually make contact after a few hundred more miles. PP only has different pads for front and I do believe the surface area is larger then the other pads. could it be a different compound? also the rotors are the same so it shouldnt make a difference for fit.

They are squealing a little bit... I have also noticed that when I first apply the brakes, they feel mushy, but then if I let off and reapply right away, it catches right at the top and a lot stronger. Does that sound like a or in the lines??
That's probably just the break in coating not worn off yet. It will get better with time. Just don't get them really hot for the first 500 or so miles. Or you will toast the pads.

Sounds like the normal feel, lack of pressure behind the pedal. They should stop better in the long run though. Don't know if anyone else does this, but I'm a fan of taking off break fluid res. cap when I'm compressing caliper pistons. Something about resetting them and pushing that pressure back into the system I don't like. Has seemed to help on our truck.
That's exactly what I did when compressing the piston back.

I'm pretty sure they are the same as the SHO.
If your looking for ebc the rear number is
7280. Just a matter if you want slotted only
(USR 7280)
or cross drilled /slotted (GD7280)

Just got a heads up, the Back pads that were on back order are now being shipped. I'm being told I'll get my brake kit in around October 1st! (kind of annoying since I got my front kit 4-6 weeks prior to that) Oh well, such is life! Once I get them in and installed I'll have pics and and update for everyone!
Progress!
they should have some if i ordered some now?
My guess is they will be in stock shortly. I went with Place for Brakes. Haven't had any complaints so far, and they always have answered their phone when i call. Super nice too! I ordered the front kit (S4KF1273) and back kit (S4KR1204)
Exactly my thoughts SHOdded!!!! i'm just getting antsy because i'm out of town for work from mid october till christmas.... So i'd ideally like the brakes broken in before i get my Tune (christmas present to myself!!!)
here's a question, On the EBC's, the front rotors are 12.8 inches, but the rears are 13.0 inches... :confused:
have the taurus rear brakes always been bigger than the fronts???
That's pretty much correct for the 10-12 SHO,13+SHO have a slightly larger outside diameter.
Tuesday Update:
Talked to Place for Brakes. Sounds that EBC plans to ship out the Pads i need for the rear set in the next 2-3 weeks....
Place for Brakes sales manager emailed me today an hour or 2 after I called. While this is reassuring, I put all blame of my situation on SHO-TYM... because i have a strong feeling he got the last set of pads for this set in the states....
So at this rate, i won't see my new brakes until November i'm thinking and with the holidays and travel, i'm quite booked. So who knows when i will get these installed. Might even have to bite the bullet and take them to a shop to have them install it for me since i don't have a heated garage :(
If your ever near the Cleveland area I'll put em on for ya.
I have an attached garage.
I APPRECIATE THE OFFER Glock-coma!!!
MOTHER OF GOD!!!!! MY BACK BRAKES ARRIVE OCT 15th!!!!!! Only 50 days between the 2 shipments.... lol
fianlly... i have the back set.... i have the front set..... i have my caliper piston compression tool rented.... SUNDAY WILL BE THE DAY I FINALLY GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF!!!!!!!!
and you can all bet i will have some sort of post after on my thoughts as soon as they are on and then as soon as they're broken in!
Hopefully you won't need to break out the Prozac ;) Good luck!
how much should it decrease stopping distance?
Guess who has new brakes?! ..... not me....... Dealership decided to not replace my lug nut key/lock/socket and i didn't notice till yesterday.... i'm going to have a nice talk with them on my lunch break
No matter. This is trivial (though frustrating) compared to the wait for the parts! Victory SHALL be yours :)
Yeah, Murphy's law has played me all too well for this project! haha.
Murphy's Shenanigans :D wants YOU!
they're..... finally..... DONE!!!!!!!!! so far, so good. only have 10 miles on em! plan on babying her for 200 minimum. Might have to be "that guy" on the highway that leaves like 100 yards between me and the car in front of me!
Pics will be up tomorrow!
Yeehaw!!! Quit yer prancing and dig in them spurs already :D
Instead of starting a new redundant thread, I'll ask here. I'm looking for opinions on which brake pads to go with. It's between Hawk HPS and EBC Red Stuff. Thoughts on which one is best for heavy street use on our heavy cars?
What i ended up reading that i liked most about the Red stuff Pads is that they don't need heated up to get the best bite. Just break em in and go have fun. Plus if you have Red calipers.... they match! haha.
Everyone has differnt opinions which pads offer better stopping ability and performance,having tried almost every pad,had great sucess with the Hawk hps semi-metallic pads,come in street use,track use and offer great stopping ability when cold and are more gentle on your rotors than ceramics,meaning you will get more life out of your rotors in the long run.

That's all I'm looking for. Just wanted to hear from people on our platform as to what works best. I was leaning twards hawk hps. How do they compare to stock pads?
I havent tried them on my SHO yet,still have the original with 17k,but installed the Hawk HPS SEMI-METALLIC on my BMW which in weight are close,first thing that i noticed was that first initial bite upon install felt great not spongy,and the stopping power was better than my previous Akebono ceramic pads which only plus was the rims were clean,compared to semi-metallic are dusty,but take the tradeoff anyday,they work great when cold and dont have to warm them up,go to the Hawk site to follow the break in procedure.
Depressing update for anyone still following:
Brakes have about 200 miles on them as of Oct 25th. Then I got shipped out to Canada for work and haven't seen my second favorite woman since then..... So i can't exactly tell you how the really feel after being broken/bedded in since i still have another 200-400 miles to go. In all reality, i'm just going through 100% Taurus SHO withdraws in general. haha. there really isn't anything enjoyable about a Hyundai Santa Fe for 5 weeks other than work is paying for the gas and for me to drink it.... Thanksgiving can't come soon enough :(
Had me all worried at the get-go! Work pays for fun, so hang in there :)
Haha, now i read back on that... you're right, hell i even scared myself now i read that. LOL.
Yeah, i'm home for thanksgiving hopefully and she'll get her fair share of driving, thats for sure!
Finally got to Bed in my brakes this past weekend! everything feels amazing! I'll have pics in about 2 weeks when i get back from my work trip!
Didn't think it would take me till Dec 1st to get this entire project done from order to fully bed in... haha!
At least now you get to enjoy your brake upgrade :) Looking forward to those pics!
Anything out for 2013 PP cars yet?

I have these in my cart right now. Waiting to hear back from Auto Anything on doing better than the 10% discount I'm using.
Where'd you order from?

Had my installer order them - his installed price was only about $150 more than I could find both kits for online, so figured it was worth him doing it :)

I remember you putting them on!!! How are they treating you now after some miles?
Rich
Car stops on a dime and they are wearing well. Just take your time breaking them in.

Great to hear...I may be messaging you in the future on tips for break in. Thx
Rich
I used the power stop brand on my grand prix and was very happy. This is something I hope to get done to my SHO this summer along with the trans fluid changed out.
Autoanything.com will beat rockautos price by one dollar and free shipping

I installed them about 4 months ago. Noticeably more stopping power than the stock set up. Look pretty good too!
Well, I ordered the brakes yesterday around noonish. The rotors said they may not ship until the 5th of May. So I used the express delivery on those and figured the pads wouldn't take to long to follow via normal delivery.
Fast forward 24 hours...they're already here! I only payed for the rotors to be expressed, but they used a larger box for the rear rotors and snuck the pads in there too.
Thank you Auto Anything...pleasure doing business with you.

Amen to that...looks like a parts store over here right now

It's like watching the bits & pieces of a Terminator gather together before coming to "life" :)
Lol...;D;D

I'm curious how quickly that black zync will wear off and what it looks like when they do wear. I do dig the blacks though!

where the pads make contact, it was a matter of just full revolutions. I put mine on, drove home from my buddies place like 8 miles, and it was gone.
Now where the pad DOES NOT make contact, its still there. I can post a pic if you'd like to see tonight.

well the black is still there if you can see right under the bare metal.... its just not BLACK.... And i haven't had the tires off to see the center portions....
Thx for the pics...appreciate it
Rich
Ditto here. Mine is sort of a discolored black as well no real rust though. Doesn't look bad but not great either. Way better than stock though in my opinion.
Close up. Not sure how clear it will be.

Definitely better than stock.
