R1 Concepts Optimum OEp Series Brake Pads - 2022-2026 Ford Maverick - Rear
SKU: rnc2552-2384-00
Overview
The R1 Concepts RNC Optimum OE Rear Brake Pads (Part #2552-2384-00) are a precision-engineered OE-replacement brake pad solution designed specifically for the 2022–2026 Ford Maverick. Purpose-built for daily drivers who demand factory-matched stopping confidence without factory-level pricing, these pads deliver quiet, low-dust, fade-resistant braking backed by R1 Concepts' decades of braking system expertise. If you're searching for the best rear brake pads for a 2025 Ford Escape, the Optimum OEp series offers an ideal balance of performance, value, and long-term rotor protection.
Key Features & Benefits
- OE-Matched Friction Formulation — Engineered with an Original Equipment Manufacturer friction compound to deliver a precise friction match for safe, predictable, and responsive braking every time you press the pedal.
- Pressure-Adhered OPTIMUM OEp Compound — The pad material is pressure-adhered within the brake-pad compound for a tighter, more uniform bond that resists delamination and ensures consistent performance mile after mile.
- Rubber-Coated Noise-Dampening Shims — Premium rubber-coated steel shims are integrated into each pad set to absorb vibration and eliminate the squealing and grinding noises common with worn or low-quality OEM replacements.
- Post-Cure Process for Superior Durability — R1 Concepts applies a post-curing process after molding that hardens the friction material, improving durability and extending pad life beyond standard OEM specifications.
- Low-Dust Formula — Cleaner Wheels — The specialized friction formulation significantly reduces brake dust buildup on your wheels, keeping your Escape's rims cleaner with less maintenance effort.
- Rotor-Friendly Design — Proven to be gentler on brake rotors than aggressive semi-metallic alternatives, protecting your investment and extending overall brake system life.
- Consistent Pedal Feel — Designed to deliver a firm, consistent pedal response across a wide range of temperatures and driving conditions — from stop-and-go city traffic to highway cruising.
- 100% Asbestos-Free — Formulated with modern, safe materials with no asbestos content whatsoever.
- Low Copper / Environmentally Compliant — Meets California (SB 346) and Washington state low-copper brake pad regulations for 2021 and 2025 compliance thresholds — a true eco-conscious choice.
- Plug-and-Play Fitment — Designed as a direct replacement with no cutting, trimming, or modification required for proper installation on compatible Ford Maverick applications.
What's Included
- 1x Set of Rear Disc Brake Pads (both sides — left and right)
- Hardware Kit (clips and shims as applicable)

Installation
⚠️ IMPORTANT — Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Notice: The 2022–2026 Ford Maverick is equipped with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system. Before removing or installing rear brake pads, the vehicle MUST be placed into Brake Service Mode using a compatible OBD-II scan tool or by following Ford's manual key sequence procedure. Failure to activate Brake Service Mode before retracting the rear caliper piston can permanently damage the electronic parking brake actuator and rear calipers. Always deactivate Brake Service Mode and verify proper EPB function after installation is complete. Professional installation is strongly recommended for this vehicle application. These pads require no cutting, grinding, or modification to fit — they are a direct bolt-on replacement once proper service mode procedures are followed.
Is this brake pad set CARB compliant? Yes. R1 Concepts Optimum OEp Series pads meet California and Washington state low-copper brake pad requirements for both the 2021 and 2025 thresholds under their respective state regulations (SB 346 / HB 2509).
Do I need to bed-in new brake pads? Yes. A proper brake pad bed-in (break-in) procedure is recommended after installation to transfer a thin, even layer of friction material onto the rotor surface. This improves initial bite, reduces noise, and maximizes pad and rotor life.
