DuratorqSupporter Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Ok, so I am no where near needing new brakes but I think this is something everyone here can get behind. Stopping faster and more efficiently makes for safer driving. Now, I'm not talking about a whole brake kit, I mean these are daily drivers, not track stars. That being said, does anyone have experience with EBC green/red stuff brake pads? Very curious about info on this, specifically with how they do on Fusions, but any experience with them is just fine. Now, before someone points it out I understand that there are several variables that play into braking performance (pads, rotors, booster pressure, and of course tires) but I have already decided to try to find a tire with a lower mileage warranty (generally meaning sportier and more grippy) to go with my brakes whenever I need to replace the both of them.... speaking of which does anyone know how long stock brakes last (ballpark, I know it depends on driving style) on the 2013+ Fusions (assuming no revisions have been made to the braking system between 2013 and 2016 model years) Lotta questions, I know, but as always your .02 is appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drolds1 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Some members in my Lincoln LS club had tried them and most liked them. It's quite a while ago, though. A quick check doesn't shows that EBC doesn't list pads for a 2016 Fusion. Were you able to find a part #? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman505 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I don't have personal experience using them. But I did install some EBC slotted rotors and redstuff pads on a friends Audi A7. He has had only positive things to say about them. When I am in the car with him it seems like they bite down pretty good and have good stopping power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about the Lincoln LS those were some cool cars :happy feet: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkfusion2013 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 50,000 km sounds about the norm for a 50-50 mix of city- highway. Rears seem to go much sooner than the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifferent Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I have red ebc on my fronts they are nice with they price premium im not sure. They never squeak but didn't really notice a huge difference in stopping power. Then again I don't make it a habit to slam on my brakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
