Mustang Brakes: Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the right pad for me?

      There are 3 questions to ask yourself when buying new pads. How hard to you drive/brake? What type of driving do you do? What is this pad going to be used for?

      • HPS = great for aggressive driving styles.
      • Ceramic = great for average driving styles.
      • HP+ = 05+ only

  2. Why should I upgrade to a big brake kit?

      For high performance Mustangs, people tend to work on maximizing the amount of power that their motor creates, but they never consider that when you drive faster you will need to stop faster. Upgrading to a “big brake kit” will increase the surface area of your brake pads and rotors, allowing the system to work faster and more efficiently.


  3. Why do I need a conversion kit?

    Our customers tend to get a brake conversion kit if they have rear drum brakes, or if they are looking for a larger, more efficient disc.


  4. Should I go with cross drilled or slotted?

    Both styles work well to dissipate heat that builds up during braking, but many times cross-drilled rotors tend to crack under extreme braking conditions.
