I need to have my brake pads replaced. My local mechanic says that my 99 Contour SVT requires some really exotic ceramic pads. My local Ford stealership says that I need to tell them the manufacture date of my SVT because some change was made mid-year-production on the 99's. Can anyone help me clear the air? I don't need anything that's super performance oriented, just something that is of good quality/quiet and readily available at a local parts store. And if anyone can tell me how to find out my car's manufacture date that would probably help.
Thanks a bunch,
