loaded Member 77 Member For: 21y 7d Location: sydney Posted 15/07/04 12:18 PM Share Posted 15/07/04 12:18 PM I had these new pads fitted today and I can honestly say that FORD finally got something right, not even the slightest bit of squeal so far. Also in my opinion they don't feel any different to the old ones in respect to stopping power, but who cares if they don't squeal. I haven't noticed any additional dust but it's still early days.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S.I Member 229 Member For: 21y 9m 1d Location: sydney Posted 15/07/04 11:41 PM Share Posted 15/07/04 11:41 PM I love my premium brakes, I do not seem to have the squealing issues that a lot of you guys seem to be experiencing, but the brake dust on the wheels is a pain..When washing the car I now put old rags under the front wheels to stop my drive way being stained from the brake dust/water combination.Cro, it is good to see that a near death experience has tempered your high velocity ways CheersPSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
