Brake pads WAGNER or OEM FORD

I personally use Wagner Thermoquiet for my BMW because of low dust and noise-free. They are great pads.

According to Rockauto, Wagner ThermoQuiet parts are available for that car. I would just get those - I've used them on everything I've owned for the past 10 years or so with good results.

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.

I am very pleased with the brake system end results. ALL new rubber in the whole system: New calipers, new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and all four new rubber hoses.
