Ford sucks when they chose this "brand" of brake pads!!!!
take it from me and josiah, pay the extra for the akebono proacts, got mine at rockauto i think, but not sure... its more expensive than like napas or hawks or whatever but they last just about forever... and you really only need to change the fronts, the rears do hardly any braking most the time... and then there will be no more brown rims or squealing (use the antisqueal that comes with it)

ceramic pads kill rotors, so you end up with something worse than brake dust, metal shavings rusting your rimz

that may be so but the guy that sold them to me says he has the same with no problems. i am still surprised that the stock pads that dusted so bad tore up the stock rims.
