raybestos, don't buy that cheap autozone crap. trust me. unless u don't care about ur brakes and want something to just get by then go ahead.

Get the raybestos, thats the only pads we install at my work. Tried and trusted never have problems with them.
Another good choice is the monroe brake pads theyre also a good choice.

I've had awesome luck with the carbon friction metallic pads from Kragen. I tried all the Raybestos pads available and just killed em on my dads truck. The Super Stop pads only lasted 6-8K miles and they all took forever to seat and stop like they were supposed to. I grabbed a set of the carbon pads to hold us over till I could warranty the Reybestos through work and ended up loving em. They last a long time and are quiet.

If factory OEM pads at your local Ford dealer are anywhere close in price, and your not tracking your car, that's what i would choose.
You will not only know that its going to be a quiet, low dust pad, but you'll be helping out our troubled 'domestic' auto industry.

Honesly brand doesnt have much to do with it its the kinda pad you get. Any kind of metallic is gonna wear rotors down and squeel alot. If you can afford it i like ceramic pads they dont wear out rotors they dont squeel or leave dust.

if u want some really good pads go with the carbon metallic raybestos. no squeek, no brake dust, and they last a long time. plus they can take a pretty good beating. i put mine to use all the time. haha
