2012 Ford Shelby GT500 Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together on your 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 delivers the most reliable stopping performance and reduces the chance of premature wear. Pads are matched to rotor surface condition: new pads on worn or warped rotors can lead to uneven contact, longer breaking-in time, and reduced responsiveness. At David McDavid Ford our process begins with a detailed inspection that measures pad thickness, rotor runout, and caliper function. If rotors show scoring, heat-spots, or runout beyond OEM specifications, we recommend resurfacing or replacing them at the same time as the pads. That combined approach ensures the braking surface mates perfectly with the friction material, restoring pedal feel and stopping distance to factory intent. We only use OEM-grade rotors and pads designed for the supercharged 5.4L V8 and the rear-wheel drivetrain, so performance and durability are maintained. Bundling pad and rotor work at our dealership often saves you money over staggered repairs, and our service team will present transparent estimates and available service specials before work begins. To keep your Shelby GT500 performing at its peak, schedule service with our certified technicians who understand the unique needs of high-performance Ford vehicles.
