I'm planning on getting a set for the front and rear, but was wondering if the are good before I spend $79 for each set. They say this pads don't produce tons of brake dust. So just wondering.

I am putting them on the rear as soon as my slotted rotors arrive from Precision Brakes. Tire Rack said that EBC does not make rotors for the rear of our cars. 96 Black SE 2.5L V6 ATX

Stopping on my SVT improved a TON, especially in wet weather. I can't say how much the pads had to do with it vs. the rotors, but I CAN say it's the best thing I've done to the 'tour. She's just a daily driver, so I can't speak for track use. Oh, and a nice side benefit-- no brake dust anymore. callmecam2@hotmail.com "You might be a king, or a little street sweeper ... but sooner or later, you dance with the Reaper!

Ford is replacing my rotors after only 3 months on the Greenstuff pads, although I am very hard on brakes. Oh, the rotors were new when I put the EBC pads on. Make sure you order the correct ones for your car. The ones I orginally recieved (From TireRack) only fit the 99.5 and earlier cars. The pads for the 99.5's and 2000's are the same as the standard Contour/Cougar. I think BAT Inc has a good picture of the difference in pads. http://www.4113pittsburg.com/Automobiles/ContourSVT/Default.asp 2000 CSVT
