The oldest I've used as a daily is my '55 Ford. Could stand to get some brakes on it, but otherwise it was fine.
I've used the cheapo Wearever rotors/pads from autoparts stores, and the Bosch Quietcast. Hands-down, as long as I can afford it, I will be using QuietCast if it's available.
I use Bosch ceramics on mine and they're amazing.
I went with Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads . The Akebono pads performed well, but wore out faster than I'd expected. I don't know if the low wear on them caused scoring of the rotors or if it was the calipers not doing a proper job... but I did not detect a loss in brake performance, which was really strange. This was happening to the rear, so maybe the front end brake system was compensating.
Also my rear brakes say Bosch on the center of the pad so mine could be different from yours if yours aren’t showing the brand.
I put brake pads on my father-in-laws Ford Taurus and put a sticker as such on the rear bumper.
The anodized drilled/slotted rotors just got their 2nd pad change with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Zero noise,much less brake dust and last longer than the 2 years of the messy oe pads on our 3.7 ton Yukon.
Just bought some Bosch brake pads and rotors off of Amazon. Made in China as well. The quality of the products were good too. Fit perfectly and works very well.
New brakes. All OEM replacements, however the Bosch pads are a bit squeaky
I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
