R1 Concepts Optimum OEp Front Brake Pads - 2025-2026 Ford Maverick - Front
SKU: rnc2551-1818-00
Overview
The R1 Concepts Optimum OEp Front Brake Pads (Part #2551-1818-00) are a direct-fit, OE-grade replacement designed specifically for Ford Maverick owners and compatible Ford/Lincoln platform vehicles. Engineered to exceed — not just match — original equipment standards, these pads deliver the consistent pedal feel, quiet operation, and long service life that daily drivers demand. Whether you're commuting or hauling a light load, these pads give your Maverick precisely calibrated stopping power right out of the box.
Key Features & Benefits
- OE-Matched Friction Formulation — Engineered with an Original Equipment Manufacturer formulation to provide the exact friction coefficient your vehicle's braking system was designed for, resulting in safe, confident, and responsive stopping.
- Post-Cure Process for Enhanced Durability — R1 Concepts applies a post-curing process after manufacturing, improving pad density and extending overall service life beyond standard replacement alternatives.
- Positive Molding Construction — Uses the same positive molding process used in OEM brake pad production, ensuring material consistency and structural integrity from edge to edge.
- Rubber-Coated Shims Included — Multi-layer rubber-steel-rubber shims are bonded directly to the pad backing plate to absorb vibration and eliminate brake squeal for a whisper-quiet driving experience.
- Low Dust Formula — Advanced compound minimizes brake dust accumulation, keeping your wheels cleaner between washes.
- Rotor-Friendly Design — Formulated to minimize rotor wear, extending the life of both your pads and rotors simultaneously.
- 100% Asbestos-Free — Safe, modern compound with no hazardous asbestos materials.
- Low Copper / Eco-Friendly — Meets California (AB 2887) and Washington state low-copper requirements for 2021 and 2025 thresholds, reducing environmental runoff.
- Direct Bolt-On Fitment — No cutting, drilling, or modifications required. True plug-and-play installation compatible with your factory caliper and hardware.
What's Included
- 4x R1 Concepts Optimum OE Front Brake Pads (inner and outer, both sides)
- Pre-attached rubber-steel-rubber shims

Fitment & Compatibility
These front brake pads are a direct-fit replacement for the following vehicles (FMSI D1818 pad footprint):
- Ford Maverick —2025, 2026 | 2.0L EcoBoost W/ HD Brake package
⚠ Fitment Note: Verify your exact year, trim, and brake package before ordering. The 2025-2026 Maverick Lobo with enhanced/upgraded brakes uses a different caliper and pad specification. Always confirm by VIN or brake caliper part number.
Are these CARB / emissions compliant? Yes — the R1 Concepts Optimum OE Series is engineered to meet California and Washington state low-copper restrictions under AB 2887 for both the 2021 and 2025 phase-in requirements.
Installation
These are a true bolt-on replacement requiring no modifications to your factory brake hardware. The standard DIY brake pad replacement procedure applies: safely lift and support the vehicle, remove the wheel, compress the caliper piston, slide out the worn pads, and install the new R1 Concepts pads. Pre-attached shims require no additional adhesive. A brake pad bedding/burnishing procedure (8–10 moderate stops from 40–45 mph) is recommended after installation to seat the new friction material against the rotor surface and achieve optimal performance. Professional installation is available at any brake service center if preferred.
