Brake pads OEM FORD or Mintex

changed my OG set at 120k currently just under 140k.

I have a 2016 ST3, 114k miles, OEM brakes at 6mm or so, I mostly do highway.

Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.

In short: support your local motor factors, and buy Mintex brakes and pads. I've a 107 and the Mintex pads/brakes have been brilliant.

I've got a set of Mintex ones, reasonably cheap and work well for the street.

As stated, installed new Mintex front pads and I believe I installed correctly. rattle only occurs when not braking, when brakes applied immediately disappears.

While I am not overly impressed with the stopping power for the price, I am impressed with how much less they wear after a track day.

I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.

when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.

those are worse then stock.
