front brakes.. $89 from dealer ?
I just got my L a little while ago, put it in the shop for the first time, for 60k mile maintenance..
they just called me and said it needs new front brakes. $89
i told him to hold off, that seemed a bit high, 'ought i take it elsewhere like goodyear for a better deal, or let the svt dealership do it ?

Just pads? Installed? That's a deal .. my pads are $68 OTC
before, now the Brembo's are like $120 ...
Added plus ... if your rotor needs turning, they do it on the vehicle
at the Ford Garage..... The recommended procedure for our trucks....

That is hella Cheap. I bought my own 'lifetime warranty brakes', and just had htem do labor. I was charged about 120$. They also replaced a seal somewhere as well, but either way, 89$ is cheap for parts and labor? (Yes, I'm aware 120$ is high <g>.. i wont take it there again...)

If you don't like dust you should look into getting Raybestos quiet stop ceramic pads or the napa ceramix pads. I have the Raybestos front pads as of last week they stop well, are quiet and best of all hardly any dust.

for 89$ that must just be pad slapping.
it usually costs 240+ at my shop to turn the rotors and install new pads.
plus you can get Hawk front pads from ruslow for 55$ or so, they dust pretty bad, but not as much brake fade
