I'm looking to replace the pads on my 2001 gt. I am curious as to what other people recommend. I'm guessing most will recommend ceramic. I do not drive it hard. It does not go through real heavy braking. Just a normal dd.

I'm happy with my Hawk Ceramics. Great for a dd, very quiet with decent stopping power. I had Hawk HPS' but they got very noisy after a few thousand miles.

I use Motorcraft. Works well for me. My car is my DD, and is pretty much stock, so I don't buy the expensive aftermarket stuff.

I use the Raybestos Ceramics ( for ~$48). You can get the "Professional Grade" Ceramics (Part # PGD804C) for about $36 from Rock Auto.

Just the ones that I choose. They work really well for me. YMMV.

^ what he said, either amazon, or rock auto. Just make sure you have the part #'s. Raybestos is what I have as well, I got my whole set up pads and rotors from rock auto for 285.00.

Pep Boys' ProStop Ceramic line are very good as well...

I've been runing the autozone duralast ceramic for some time no with no issues.

Most ceramics are worthwhile. For some reason semi-metallics (even motorcraft ones) seem to squeal after you replace them eventhough the factory ones are Semi's.

At $133 dollars a pair they had better be good.
