I put on the BAT special last week - the EBC rotors and mintex pads approx. $240. I really can't tell where there is that much if any difference between these and the stockers. Just my 2 cents worth. BAT shipped them quick, got them in about 3 days.

Should have spent the same amount, and gone with Stazi's set-up. Best brakes I've EVER had!!!! on anything!!!

Very unimpressed with Mintex pads...lotsa dust.

What's Stazi's setup?
I'm not terribly impressed w/ the Mintex either.

"Seeing as I type this almost every day I thought I would post it again for newbies and such to read. If could be made a sticky post - even better.
The brakes I supply are OEM size. So I can get SVT and non-SVT rotors and pads. As well as shoes and drums for the unfortunates around here.
If you have an SE you can upgrade to SVT size rotors but you have to go to the Ford dealer and buy larger caliper brackets from an SVT (99 or newer) to allow you to reuse your original calipers and thus accept the larger rotors. You can't just put bigger rotors on without doing this first.
Only the 98 E0 SVT's and some early 99 SVT had the alternative SVT pads and calipers. From 99 on, Ford returned to the original non-SVT caliper but incorporated a larger caliper bracket to accept the larger SVT rotors.
I don't sell x-drilled or slotted rotors. Those things are useless gimicks that only REDUCE the life of the rotors and pads - it's a proven fact that has been hashed over on these forums, time and time again.
I sell Autospecialty Rotors that are CNC ground flat and are made of quality cast iron. The pads I sell are Bendix Titanium Metallic pads (for thee front) which create very little dust yet stop better, resist fade and last longer than the crap OEM supplied pads the cars come with, from Ford. The rears are still Bendix pads, but are organic. Bendix and most other pad manufacturewrs do not make a metallic pads for the rear brakes. Why? Because it's overkil seeing as most of the braking effort (~70%) comes from the front brakes.

I have the same setup. It was not $240 for the non-SVT. More like $180.
Brake feel, initial bite, modulation, etc, feels identical to OEM (which is pretty darn good, IMO), but during "testing" I found the fade resistance to be a definite improvement.
Seems to dust just as bad as OEM, too.
