Upgraded my GT pads last month - initial thoughts and a question
Thought I'd share a quick update since I was here a while back asking about brake options for my 2021 GT. Ended up going with a ceramic compound from a shop in Al Quoz that specializes in American muscle, specifically a place I found that does Mustang performance brake pad replacement Dubai as their main thing. They recommended a brand I hadn't heard of before but assured me it would cut down the dust without losing the bite. Happy to report after about a thousand kilometers that the dust situation is massively improved, like my wheels actually stay silver for more than a day now which feels like a miracle. The initial bite is slightly different, maybe a tiny bit softer right at the top of the pedal, but once you're into them they stop just as hard as the stock ones. My question though - I'm noticing a bit more noise when they're cold, almost a light groan in the morning, and I'm wondering if that's normal for ceramics or if maybe they need another bedding in cycle. Anyone else running ceramics on their Mustang have the same experience? Just want to make sure I didn't mess something up during installation.
