The mountune high-performance S550 Mustang V8 GT brake pad range has been developed for owners looking for the ultimate in braking performance whilst retaining their OE braking setup.
The aramid fibre-based pad compound used provides excellent initial bite from cold, which improves further with subsequent use as the heat builds up, offering enhanced performance and resistance to brake fade upto 700ºC.
The compound used also produces minimal dust and maintains an OE-like level of noise, so is perfectly suited to daily use without any compromise.
Features:
- Improved braking performance
- Resistance to brake fade up to 700ºC
- Low dust / noise output
- Suitable for fast road use
- Direct swap for OE pad
- ECE R90 approved
Bedding-in:
The following steps should be followed to correctly ‘bed-in’ your new brakes.
Brake pad/ disc replacement will initially reduce your vehicle's braking performance until fully ‘bedded’ in.
Step 1 - Gently drive approximately 250 urban miles (not motorway miles where brakes are used less) to allow the pads to coat the surface and establish full contact with the disc face.
Step 2 - Ensuring it is safe and legal to do so, perform 8 stops from 70mph to 30mph at 300-yard intervals followed by coasting to allow the brakes to cool.
Discs / pads can take up to 1200 miles to fully bed in, during which time it is perfectly normal to experience a degree of smoke, odour or squeal.
