My opinion.Get the new standard rotors from ford (under warranty) and get them to fit QFM pads that you buy yourself for $40-$50.They did it for no cost as they had to change the rotors anyway.Hey presto.....no more shudder and a much nicer brake response.Got nearly 20k so far without a worry.

I've got the old rotors, standard pads and bendix pads under the house probably worth nothing to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Cro says the Ferodo's are great and I haven't had a problem yet. Anyone wanna buy some Bendix Ultimates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
