R1 Concepts Optimum OEp Brake Pads & Hardware Kit - 2022-2026 Ford Maverick - Front
SKU: rnc2552-2300-01
Overview
The R1 Concepts RNC Optimum OE Brake Pads (Part #2552-2300-01) are a premium OE-replacement front brake pad and hardware kit engineered specifically for the 2022–2026 Ford Maverick. Designed for Ford Maverick owners who demand factory-level stopping confidence without dealer pricing, these pads use an advanced OE-matched friction formulation to deliver the precise pedal feel, quiet operation, and long service life your SUV deserves. Whether you're navigating city streets or taking on light off-road trails, the Optimum OEp Series is the best front brake pad upgrade for the Ford Maverick.
Key Features & Benefits
- OE-Matched Friction Formulation — Engineered with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEp) compound for a precise friction match, ensuring safe and responsive braking that mirrors your factory brake feel.
- Rubber-Coated Noise-Dampening Shims — Rubber steel rubber (RSR) shim technology reduces NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) at the source, eliminating the brake squeal common with worn OEM pads.
- Low Dust Formula — 100% asbestos-free, low-dust OEp compound keeps your Maverick's wheels cleaner longer compared to standard factory pads.
- Excellent Fade Resistance — Post-cure heat treatment and a multi-alloy compound provide superior heat dissipation, maintaining consistent stopping power under repeated or spirited braking.
- Rotor-Friendly Design — Proven longer rotor and pad life; gentler on rotors than aggressive semi-metallic compounds, helping extend the life of your brake system overall.
- Positive Molding Process — Uses the same positive molding manufacturing method as OEM suppliers, ensuring uniform friction material density, even wear, and consistent performance throughout pad life.
- Low Copper / Environmentally Compliant — Meets the low copper requirements under California and Washington state restrictions for 2021 and 2025, making these pads legal in all 50 states.
- Hardware Kit Included — Comes with all necessary brake hardware (clips, springs, and caliper hardware) for a complete, professional-grade brake service.
- Direct Bolt-On Fit — Engineered to exact OEM dimensions; no cutting, grinding, or modifications required for installation.
What's Included
- 1x Set of Front Brake Pads (fits both left and right front calipers)
- 1x Hardware Kit (caliper slides, clips, and retaining springs)

Installation
These are a direct bolt-on replacement requiring no modifications. For most DIY mechanics, front brake pad replacement on the Ford Bronco Sport is a straightforward job using basic hand tools. Always perform a proper brake bed-in (bedding) procedure after installation: complete 8–10 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph to properly seat the new pads against the rotor surface and maximize performance. Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with brake service procedures. Note: If servicing rear brakes on the Bronco Sport simultaneously, the vehicle must be placed into Brake Maintenance Mode to retract the electronic parking brake motor safely — this does not apply to the front brake pad replacement covered by this kit.
