When I go back down to NC for school im going to be getting new pads and rotors from NAPA, just reg. OEM rotors their premium ones, and some pads, my friend told me to get the ceramix, but they also have adaptive one ceramix, which are advertised as better on their website, their also cheaper tho. Which ones should I get? thanks

Aereon

neither, from personal experience they are pretty loud and do not offer much for braking. I highly recommend the hawk hps pads ~$90-100. But if you have enough I'd recommend buying the buyfordracing mach1 brake kit $349.99

nope no money, just want OEM stuff realy, but no noise/dust and better pads

Then go with the oem replacements from tirerack.

wel i was gonna get em from napa cuz i can pick em up at the store and walk right next store to the napa repair palce and have em do everythng....what pads does anyonesuggest from them

MustangMan00

well i think ima jsut go with the premium rotors and the ceramix pads, all the other pads on their site say reccomend the ceramix ones..........that should be good right? i mena my friend said he had that on his truck for 6 months, no problems, no noise, no dust

If it was up to me, stay away from ceramics. I personally use semi-metallic pads on all my vehicles. I never had no dust or noise from either of mine. And someone can verbally attack me on here if they wish, I'm pretty sure semi-metallic pads are what Ford puts on these cars stock too.

I will avoid the argument then by just stating their physical properties, ceramic pads create more dust but are less abbrasive to the rotors, anything with metal in it is gonna be tougher on the rotor but create less dust.

hmm i dunno what to do then

Avoid any pad that a magnet sticks to (the braking material obviously, not the backing plate)--many metallic and semi-metallic pads use iron powder as the "metallic" part and the dust from these pads will make a godawful brown mess of your wheels.[/align][/align]I preferfull ceramic pads (PepBoys has a very nice house-brand), however anypremium non-ferrous pad will exceed the OEM specs.[/align]
