Hey, guys, Adam here with americanmuscle.com.
Today, I'm bringing you a detailed overview of the Xtreme Stop Performance Ceramic Brake
Pads, fitting the front of all '94 to '04 Bullitt Mach 1 and Cobra Mustangs.
So in this video, I'll be quickly going over the performance and benefits of these Ceramic
Pads from Xtreme Stop, as well as the materials and construction.
I'll top off the video with the install which I'll let you know upfront gets a very simple
one out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter, considering it's gonna be just like
any other brake job on your Bullitt Mach 1 or Cobra.
The Xtreme Stop Performance Ceramic Brake Pads will fit the front of all '94 to '04
Bullitt Mach 1 and Cobras, and of course, will be for the owners out there looking to
get that restoration part to increase their braking performance, and upgrade their pads
to a very, very durable and, of course, long-lasting pad with a ceramic finish.
Now, there are a couple different factors that set apart the Xtreme Stop Performance
Ceramic Pads from some of the other options on the market as well as the stock regular
pads.
Now for starters, Xtreme Stop lets us know that these will actually increase your braking
performance and stopping power by 25%.
Now, that's a huge gap from the OEM option so, of course, upgrading to these pads, the
Ceramic option from Xtreme Stop, is gonna be a huge upgrade hands down.
Considering these are gonna be the front pads on your Bullitt Mach 1 or Cobra, this is gonna
be a beneficial part to have that extra 25% stopping power over the stock option.
Because if you're anything like me and you put the beating on your brake pads from time
to time, taking those hard corners and taking those hard stops, this is something that's
gonna be extremely useful.
Now, another aspect of these pads that make them superior to the factory options is that
these are actually gonna be a low dust and a quiet brake pad.
Now, unlike the stock option, these offer a low dust composite so if you find yourself
cleaning off your wheels a lot, getting rid of the ice or break dust that's left and all
that residue left on your wheels, of course, this is definitely gonna be for you.
Now as far as the quiet option goes, that's really a no-brainer.
Nobody wants to hear squeaky brakes, nobody wants to hear that noise coming from their
wheel wells every time they hit the stop.
Now, since they will be a quiet brake pad, they utilize a rubber coated shim on each
one of the pads, just to make sure they get the stopping power done with almost no noise.
Now, that low dust and quiet factor in aspect to these pads are definitely gonna be attributed
to the actual materials and construction of the pads themselves.
Xtreme Stop had these manufactured by high-quality ceramic brake pad composite, which of course,
attributes to that quiet and low dust factor.
Now, another aspect is that these are completely rotor friendly.
And now what I mean by that is, they don't necessarily have to be broken in out of the
box and driven on very lightly, these a good to go right out of the box, perfect for daily
driving.
Now as far as the price goes, if you're interested in the Xtreme Stop power of these pads, you
can pick them up for just about 90 bucks.
They are all a bit more on the expensive side as far as front pads are concerned, but if
you need that extra bite, you need that extra stopping power because of the way you're driving
your Mustang, this is definitely something you're gonna wanna pick up and it's gonna
be the price you'll have to pay.
Shifting gears over to the install portion of the video, like I said in the beginning,
easy enough for almost anybody to take care of.
It's gonna be no different than any other regular brake job you do on your SN95.
As far as tools are concerned, a lift would definitely be helpful but a jack and jack
stands will do the trick just right.
And of course, a ratchet and a simple socket set as well as a C-clamp to decompress those
calipers.
Overall, you can have this done in about an hour or so in the driveway at home, which
is why it gets a one of the three wrenches on our difficulty meter.
Now, as far as the install itself, all you have to do is jack up the front of your car,
support the weight on jack stands and remove that front wheel.
You'll remove the top end of your caliper by removing that push pin that's actually
sitting on one side of the caliper.
Remove the clip on the back of the push pin, pull that out using some pliers if you have
to and, of course, just open up the caliper to gain access to the pads.
Once you pop those pads off, grease up the back of the Xtreme Stop Pads using some brake
grease or brake lube, pop them back into place, repeat everything in the reverse order to
get it back installed.
Repeat that exact process for the opposite side and you're good to go.
Overall, about an hour's worth of time in the driveway at home, and a one out of three
wrenches on our difficulty meter.
Wrapping things up here, if you're the owner of a '94 to '04 Bullitt Mach 1 or Cobra Mustang,
you might be looking to increase your stopping power and braking performance, especially
if you're putting the beating on them like I do, you might wanna check out the Xtreme
Stop Performance Ceramic Brake Pads for the front of your SN95.
