Brake pads Raybestos or OEM FORD

Raybestos Brake pads

Raybestos has always treated me well. They feel close to OEM but last longer and stop stronger under load. I've run them on work trucks and they held up fine with trailers.

Pros: close to OEM, last longer, stronger stopping, good for towing

Raybestos Brake pads

Went Raybestos and they have been good so far. I wasn't impressed with the pads machining quality though. They just looked rough, but I haven't had any issues in 20k miles with some towing use.

Pros: good performance, no issues, good for towing
Cons: rough machining quality
Mileage: 20000 km

OEM FORD Brake pads

Is it a reasonable price? No not really. Can you just do it at home in the driveway? If you have a driveway, and it's nice if you have someone around who's done it before who can remind you to do things like properly torque the bolts instead of just "by feel" if you're new to this, or add a little anti-seize on the hub so you can get it off in 5 years, without giving you silly quirky advice like a lot of YouTubers like to do to try and make themselves slightly different. What _should_ you do? My suggestion is call a few local shops (even Ford dealerships if you want). Tell them you've got some rotors and pads (order some standard ones off of Rock Auto) and ask what they would charge to install it. Call 5 places, ignore the most and least expensive ones, and if the remainders pick the one you like the look of (check online reviews, see how long they've been in business, etc). Every mechanic has been changing brakes since they were 12, but you want one who looks like they care about their work. A good mechanic with a 2 post lift should be able to do a Mustang brake job in like 20 minutes if they tried to. They'll actually take about an hour and be careful about it. They'll charge you some "standard" hours regardless of clock time because they need to pay for their shop etc. It's cheaper to do it yourself, but not everyone _wants_ to do it themselves, or trusts themselves to learn something from YouTube videos that their life depends on every day.

Pros: easy installation, cost effective
Cons: expensive labor, time consuming
