Default need brakes...what should i do?

its lookin like i need new pads and the rotors look pretty shot so i think im going to replace it all at once. as of now, im just going to get the motorcraft stuff and do it.

i dont need a cobra brake kit or anything that expensive, but is there anything else you guys would recommend instead of the oem replacement motorcraft pads/rotors?

I like the Satisfied GS6 pads which I got in the rear on my car. As far as rotors, Brembo I believe makes the stock Cobra rotors so you can look to see if those are cheaper. BTW, Tire Rack carries both items.

I just did this a few months ago. I resurfaced my stock rotors which will cost ruffly 40bucks for all 4. Any midas etc.. will do this for cheap if you bring them the rotors. And i changed the fluide out and went with stainless lines from am.com along with the pads below.

Satisfied brake pads are great i have their "pro ceramics" and like them alot. They dust less then stock and bite very hard and less prone to fad then stock. They were a nice upgrade over stock Ford pads and i got them threw advanced auto parts online store and they do free shipping which was nice.

well i think i'm just going to go with the OEM motorcraft stuff. rotors look like they're pretty beat up on. looks like mr randy can get me all rotors and pads for ~150+sh.
