The Ultimate Ford Fiesta ST MK7 Brake Guide
Whether you’re building a fast-road weapon or a dedicated track car, upgrading the Fiesta ST MK7’s brakes is one of the smartest mods you can make. Here’s a practical guide to help you choose the right setup.
1️⃣ Pads
- EBC (Yellowstuff / Bluestuff) – Great for road, spirited B-road driving, and occasional track days. Widely available in the UK.
- PBS (ProRace / ProTrack) – Excellent choice for serious track use with strong bite and fade resistance over multiple sessions.
2️⃣ Discs
- Stock-size slotted or grooved discs – Best balance of cooling and pad cleaning for road and light track.
- MTEC, EBC BSD, Tarox – Good upgrades for heat management. Avoid drilled discs for repeated track use due to potential cracking.
3️⃣ Brake Fluid
- Motul RBF660 / Castrol React SRF – Top-tier for hard track use, with excellent high-temperature stability.
- ATE Type 200 / Motul DOT 5.1 – Great for spirited road driving with higher boiling points than standard fluid.
4️⃣ Lines
Braided stainless lines – Recommended for all setups. They improve pedal feel and resist expansion under pressure, delivering consistent braking performance.
