Brake Time

Time to put new brakes on my 05 f350. I think I read on this forum where it is best to stay with OEM, but would like some input on what guys have had the best luck with. Thanks for your time---Stan.

Got to agree with you. A lot of the old timers, Tim and Mark LOL, seem to feel that the OEMS are overall the best pads to use. When I'm do, that's the choice that I'll probably take.

JMHO, Ford hit a home run on the S.D. brake pads.

I'll need to do my rears sometime soon and am looking into this as well. My S4 has Hawk Performance Ceramics with EBC 3GD rotors and I love it. Was thinking the same setup as well for the F-250.
