Best OEM replacement pads?
Where is the best place to order replacement pads online? I am told there are replacement pads that are oem quality but produce less dust and are not ceramic. Is this true and where can I find them? Thanks

Motorcraft BR50 fronts, BR3 rears. About $50 a set at a dealer. They dust alot less and the dust is not the ugly reddish brown, more grey. The weekly wash takes care of it. You can try here FORDSVTPARTS@HOTMAIL.COM for a price.

Is there something wrong with the ceramic/metallic pads? Just wondering because I've always used the Performance Friction brand pads on everything....except the Lightning. It's still got Motorcraft pads on it (factory ones). When I need to buy pads, is it OK to use the Performance Frictions?

You could try Hawk HPS pads. I have been using them for a while now and they kick-butt IMHO.

Ceramics cause cracks in the rotors.

If that was directed at me, I don't think Hawk HPS are ceramic.

I recommend the Hawk HPS pads for street / mild track use. About $75 / axle at Tirerack.

I will eventially be running a set of polished rims. Don't want tons of brake dust, but also don't want ceramic.
