What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[MiWiAu]

Disintegrated my front right brake pads (EBC Yellowstuff) on the way into work this morning. I noticed they were getting thin when I took the winters off a few months ago, but thought I might get one more light season out of them - no dice.

I don't have time to wait for more EBC pads in the mail, so picking up some Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic pads on my way home. Hopefully these won't dust as bad as the Yellows...

Happy Friday!

Let me know how they dust.  I am not sure what pads are on mine right now.  They have good bite and modulation for my daily commute needs, but OMG they are dirty/dusty!  I have to clean my wheels once a week.  After a day of driving I will literally have visible dust pooled in the one valley on the wheel and it will move to the bottom of wheel if you rotate it.  Any water at all and then it coats and sets that entire valley black in days.

Will do! I also have the EBC drilled/dimpled rotors which seem to be extra aggressive on pads too (and probably contribute considerably to the dust), but I don’t think the dust can be worse than the Yellowstuff.

I can tell you I have ford pads on my car and they dust like a mofo. Have any of you guys ever tried centric or stoptech? Centric is the maker of stoptech I sell them at my work. I used them on my Acura TL-S all the time and never had a dusting problem with the Brembos on that car.

It looks like the Redhead will be getting a set of new shoes! I just couldn't pass up this offer.  Z 
I will provide my initial impressions once there installed and after the break in period
I will also have to compensate the difference in tire size.......

Those will look sharp on your car being white.  Contrast is awesome.  Width and offset will give you nice poke too.

Tks. Was on the fence about that.

I had the Ford dealer install my new Dunlop tires and Truly impressed with the overall feel of the vehicle.
I will try to post some PICS shortly for anyone interested.
I will have to take it easy for a while in order to break them in properly which is easier said than done.  Z 

 

[SHOdded]

AutoX and EVO should break them in nicely.

Not nearly as bad as highcalibers, it was a 90 pound deer instead of a 5,000 pound suv.
