I had EBC's on my focus years ago, geez 20 years ago at this point 🙃, & I wasn't too impressed with them. I found Centric when I did the SVT brake conversion & have been loyal ever since. When I converted back to stock before selling the focus, I missed a driveway entrance as I was so used to bigger brakes of the SVT conversion. I really miss that car sometimes, but it was never engineered to last through northern winters 😢
I have moved my vehicles to Akebono - good grip and very low dust, or could say no dust.
Right now I've got the best Autozone carries because I found the issue during my CV axle replacement.
On my BMW K1600 motorcycle I use EBC - they're the best for the bike but make a lot of dust.
I believe that I have them on my 2020 without issue, but I have the Centric Premium Blanks on that one. I was looking at the weather protection mainly as the northern salt & brine are always a factor.
I believe that I had the power stop z23's on there before, but they also put out dust, just way more manageable. What do you recommend? Luckily the pads are the cheapest part of this whole process.
I had that exact combination on the front, and I'm still happy with the rotors but would strongly advise against the pads.
My pads de-laminated and a web search indicates that its a typical problem with those pads - also bought from RockAuto.
See the last post in the below thread.
Just ordered front pads & rotors for our 2016 2.0L FWD. Centric high carbon coated rotors & centric posi quiet ceramic pads from Rock Auto for $185 shipped. Most places wanted $93 a rotor. They ~9 years old, so I'm sure that they're due for replacement.
While I know that is close to the quotes from brake places, I squirm every time I see that price, after having done my own (and upgrading to the larger AWD brakes for my FWD vehicle) for...$388 (4 coated premium rotors, all pads, all bushings, 2 larger front caliper mounts). $280 without the caliper mounts.
Probably didn't have any more required waiting until they were dead, should replace rotors anyways.
