Stock replacements. O/T, How many miles on them ? Mines at 60k and there still like new.

75k, I think I picked up a rock or something and it grooved out one of the rotors pretty bad. I always replace in pairs of course

when you say stock replacements do you mean ford oem or just average stock replacements from auto zone or amazon??

Yeah wherever you can get the best price. Just avoid brands you never heard of.

OEM pads are plenty good for the street. There are some folks here that go with a different pad that doesn’t create as much dust, if you want to go that route there’s quite a few threads in the brake section about it.

The OEM rear pads make so much brown dust you would think that was their primary purpose. I am throwing mine in the scrap pile and putting on Powerstop Z23 pads. For rotors, there are lots of options. OEM is good enough for this purpose.

They musta changed for the 18+ cause honestly I never noticed much of any brake dust.

They're not as bad as the front OEM pads but they're still generating a lot more than necessary.

I've always liked the Centric brand rotors. They come coated and stay looking nice for years. You can get them at Rock Auto. Also the Hawk performance ceramic pads are usually a good bet. Minimal dust and good initial bite.
