Brake pads OEM FORD or JURID

I'm running the JURID pads, too, and I'm at a little over 13k miles. No issues whatsoever...

I can tell the pads are fairly recent and are Jurid brand so I know they've been replaced recently.

In terms of driving impressions, well...it feels heavy and clumsy around town. The steering is very heavy...forget twirling the wheel with a finger. The shifter is mounted low and away. It takes effort to shift, and it's very solid and mechanical (rod shifter). The clutch is progressive but the friction point is not very obvious. Ride is quite good, and push through the clumsy feeling and she can dance. Brakes are hysterically soft, typical for a SHO.

I was still on the original pads/rotors when I sold it back in '04 and not a day goes by that I don't miss it.

You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.

Jurid,like Pagid and ATE,and Lucas/Girling are all OEM suppliers to VW,the Jurid pads are a OEM replacement and make a hell of a lot of dust,but are less likely to "squeek" due to their softer compound.

Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types

Volkswagen uses Jurid and Pagid Black compound brakepads as OEM on our Passats. The problem is that these pads take a very long time to correctly bed into the brake rotors. If these pads aren't bed correctly, over time they will wear unevenly on the rotor which causes vibration. That vibration is what causes your brakes to squeal!!
