In need of new pads and rotors on our 2013 F Sport. After 20K miles on the current ones we were told by the dealer that we'd need new front brakes.

Would like to know what you guys with F Sport recommend to use. I see the Akebono pads in the DIY stickie but no mention of rotors. Also, I really, really hate the squeal of the OEM pads. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Happy holidays!!

Just did the brake pads on both the front and rear of my F-Sport with the Posi- quiet. They’re nice and no more squeaky noise. I think I saw a post here that most people agreed to that brand. That was why I went with it.

Yes...many of us here went with Posi-Quiet from Centric. They're a great choice.

I replaced all 4 wheels about a month ago with the centric slotted rotors and posi pads - way better then stock. I would do it the same way again.

Would you have the part numbers for the slotted rotors? Would like a slight upgrade over stock rotors. Pads, I'll go with the recommended here.


Thanks everyone!

I have an AWDL so it looks like the parts are different from the fsport. Here is the link that will provide the proper part numbers however, I would recommend calling whomever you purchase from and reviewing with them. I purchased mine from buybrakes.com and it was a very pleasant experience.

Also note that they have complete kits that are not on the centric parts list?

Good luck my friend.

What mileage is everyone swapping out the original pads at?

I did mine at 50k

I was in a pinch and threw a set of pads in a few weeks ago. The squeal was ear piercing. I pulled them out and put the OE shims back in, with some lube, and no more noise.
