I just purchased some EO brakes (Thanks Brian!) to put on my Contour and am looking for a good brake pad to go along with it. The rotors look like stock replacements that I will have turned just to make sure they're true (very few miles on 'em). What would be a good pad to go with this? Ceramic? Metallic? Semi? The only thing that concerns me about ceramics is that they dont' stop well in the cold or wet (which we get a lot of both here in NE.) Any ideas?? -Chris 2000 SE Sport V6 5spd (all stock except for EO brakes)

The Raybestos Quite Stops I have on the Escape are exceptional pads. Low dust, excellent hot, good initial bite even when cold, and absolutely no problems when wet. If you stumble accross any Ceramic pads for the E0 brakes, please let me know. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
