2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Brake Pads and Rotors

The braking system on a 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 deserves coordinated care. Replacing pads without addressing rotor condition often postpones rather than solves braking issues—warped, scored, or thin rotors can undermine bite and cause vibration even with new pads. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville we inspect both pads and rotors on every service, measuring rotor thickness and surface condition against Ford specifications. When rotors show heat spotting, lateral runout, or approach minimum thickness, we recommend replacement to restore the original stopping performance and to extend pad life. Choosing OEM or approved performance rotors and pads ensures material compatibility and proper bedding-in for peak performance. Our factory-trained technicians follow Ford procedures for installation and torque sequences, plus a calibrated road test to confirm consistent pedal feel. You’ll also benefit from dealership resources—service records tied to your VIN, access to performance parts, and warranty oversight. If you want to save, look at our service specials and then schedule service online; we offer transparent estimates and service financing so you can protect braking performance now and spread payments if needed.
