Brake Pads ?

Its time for front brakes on my 2006 I have 77,000 on original pads so I was going to replace with stock. Is this the best choice or is there better pads than fords? I do not do a lot of heavy towing. Thanks

I think the OEM pads are pretty good. I have 71,000 on mine and they are about due for a change as well.

I recommend you go with the Motorcraft PREMIUM pads. I think they're better than what comes on the truck from the factory, at least they seem to be. They stop good cold, better hot, and the brake dust is non-existent. I replaced my OEM's at 108K and at 181K I still have a LOT of pad left.

Thanks for the replies. Partsman do you know if the Premium pads are harder on the rotors IE wear them faster?

I replaced mine with ART's pads, I would recommend them, they are also a site sponsor. Applied Rotor Technology
