While reading the leaflet that comes with them it says you must install new pads at the same time. Hadn't thought of that. Does anyone know any good quality pads I can get a local parts shop. Don't have time to order on-line. Thanks for any input.

I'd order one of the Mintex sets from www.batinc.net "If you're pushing crazy I'm all full up here." {Black '96 Contour SE MTX w/ over 126k on the clock} � Get the skinny here. � Need a 96-00 Ford Service Manual on CDROM?

I only found ONE parts store in my area that stocked them, and we have A LOT of stores around Cleveland area. Good luck. blk.99svt n.e.Ohio Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups...

That won't dust as much as stock but they aren't that great. Just order some online, you'll be much happier you did.

Imho the best you can do "locally", Autozone carries "Performance Friction Carbon Metallic" They are an aggressive pad and decent performers (A little better than Axxis Metal Masters) However for less you could get the Mintex A/F's from BAT/SP/CTA or for a bit more the Mintex race (C-tech) pads. I agree both Raybestos and Bendix pads are not that great. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...
