OEM 14-15 brake pads replacements info

[Navy81]

After trying to make sense of all the info I searched for (on this and a other forum that is not as good so I will not name it ), I believe that after the Model year 2015 Fists Ford changed the brake pad material to a less dust version. Yes the dust was maddening but I enjoyed the initial bite of the brakes.
The new low dust version reviews I read reported that they seem to loss that " passenger head to dash board" (yup I stole that one) initial grab. Improvement maybe, I don't care, I want the car I test drove the first time not some grocery getter feeling brakes, I like "feeling" of this cars feed back. Yeah its not a formula 1 car I know.

Anyway I got on fordparts.com to sort out the part number issue below is what I got during a chat session.

Hello Matt. Welcome to Fordparts.com Catalog Assistance. My name is Caroline. Please give me a moment while I research your request.
Caroline says:
Front or rear brake pads?
Matt says:
OK, thank you!
Matt says:
Front and or rear if available also
Caroline says:
ok. I'l see what the master catalog has listed for the VIN.
Matt says:
I need fronts now, ill get both if available.
Caroline says:
AY1Z-2001-D front brake pads.
Caroline says:
BRF1494 is the motorcraft part number .
Caroline says:
Those are the original part numbers I show no supersessions.
Caroline says:
C1BZ-2200-A Rear brake pads
Caroline says:
Motorcraft number: BRF1444
Matt says:
That's the same as the 2016 model year, I believe a low dust version?
Caroline says:
CU2Z-2V001-A 2001 (BR1454B) for 2016 version
Caroline says:
Also: AE8Z-2001-C BRF1493
Matt says:
Ok right on thank you for clearing this up for me!
Caroline says:
AY1Z-2001-E (BRF1508)
Caroline says:
& AY1Z-2001-D BRF1494
Caroline says:
You're welcome. Are there any other FordParts.com part catalog questions I can assist you with today?
Matt says:
Is it possible to order on this sight or do I have to go through a dealer? No one has these in stock near me.
Caroline says:
Parts listed on the website are supplied by registered Ford dealerships.
Caroline says:
Any dealer can order the parts and have them shipped overnight.
Matt says:
So Im at the mercy of dealership for parts correct?
Matt says:
ok thanks again!
Matt says:
Ill call one of them back thanks again.

I hope some one else may find this use full as I was not satisfied with reviews I could find on aftermarket pads, not to mention several national parts stores will try to sell you standard Fiesta pads that do not fit.

In review
Stock 14+15 grabby pads motorcraft part numbers are as follows Front-BRF1494 rear- BRF1444

And It seem I have to go through a dealership, anyone have one that will ship to PA and doesn't stink?

Do what this guy says.

Alright I'll call tomorrow at noon eastern, thanks!

A few months ago I was able to secure a set of the updated OEM pads after 3 weeks of looking and a couple sets of regular fiesta pads being sent to me (thanks rock auto). I absolutely HATE them. This is good info, I want the OG pads back! They were freakin fantastic compared to these new ones. Breaking feels horrible. They work well enough but I can feel the rotors through the pedal.

Do you have a 2014 or 2015? Apparently the 15s came with a whole different set of pads. If you own a 14 they only have one set of pads that come up in the system, those are the OG ones. I just had them installed but the Tasca parts said for the 15s two sets of pads show up; performance and comfort, or something like that. Can't quite remember what he said, but I'm guessing if you have a 15 you accidentally got the comfort ones.

 

[jayrod1980]

From what I've been told, comfort only come if you selected all weather tires. The Performance or racing ones are the originals and come on summer tire optioned (default) cars. I have a 2016 and the brakes feel great. I assume they are the aggressive ones because my wheels are filthy in literally one long drive.

 

[D1JL]

The original front pads were AY1Z-2001-B and these are NO longer available.
That has already been superseded by AY1Z-2001-D.

[Zormecteon]

I've got 30,000 miles on a '14 with the original pads, but I have a set of mountune (road) pads (with stainless braided hoses) here and waiting. Haven't heard much about them yet, good or bad.

 

[jayrod1980]

What is the difference between B and D?

 

[me32]

The front track pads should have a big S on them. The new less aggressive Front pads should have big H on them.

 

[JasonHaven]

The original front pads were AY1Z-2001-B and these are NO longer available.
That has already been superseded by AY1Z-2001-D.



Dave

This is what I found:

Front: AY1Z-2001-D
Rear: C1BZ-2200-A

Is this right?

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Here are right part numbers. I just ordered these a month ago through Tasca and they are on my car now and fit and run just like the old, OEM ones.

AY1Z2001D Front BRAKE PADS
C1BZ2200A Rear BRAKE PADS

 

[Kip2MyLou]

This is what I found:

Front: AY1Z-2001-D
Rear: C1BZ-2200-A

Is this right?

Yes they're correct. See my previous post.

 

[J2FoRS]

Yes they're correct. See my previous post.

Maybe stupid question. But are yours the actual Ford genuine parts pads or the Motorcraft?

 

[D1JL]

Here are right part numbers. I just ordered these a month ago through Tasca and they are on my car now and fit and run just like the old, OEM ones.

AY1Z2001D Front BRAKE PADS
C1BZ2200A Rear BRAKE PADS

I just ordered a set of these on Friday from Tasca.
So yes, these are the current numbers.

[Kip2MyLou]

Genuine Ford OEM parts. If you need the front and rear rotors also, let me know. I have those also.

 

[D1JL]

What is the difference between B and D?

Unfortunally there is no info on this.
It could be a manufacturer change or a change of material or anything for that mater.
All that is available is that "B" was superseded by "D" and the "B" version is no longer available anywhere.

[JasonHaven]

Thanks guys.

Wish there were more reviews of the Mountune RS-R pads, been eyeballing them as well.
