I have recently bought a 2007 Mustang V8 4.6 GT as a stable mate for my Ferrari.

One thing that has really surprised me is the brakes on the car - or should I say lack of them, as quite frankly they feel awful, dull, fade and quite unresponsive at higher speeds.

I am looking for some advice on brake upgrades (both pads and discs) and was hoping for some recommendations maybe around the £1k mark, possibly a bit more.

A fellow Mustang owner has recommended EBC red stuff, but I have read mixed reviews on them. I then looked into EBC yellow stuff, but heard mixed reviews on them also !

Any help / advice would be highly appreciated

Thank you

My current Mustang, and previous one, has EBC yellow pads.

Much better than standard but they are a bit noisey and generate a lot of dust.
Thanks for the reply. What discs are you running with them ?
