Title: Brake Pad Advise
Post by: AussiePhil on July 15, 2022, 09:45:04 am: Hey all,
I’m looking at changing rear my brake pads on my 68 Mustang.
They are Ford Explorer UN - US disc brakes with drum park brake.
Not that they are worn, they are hardly worn and I think hard as a rock and they look like old original period 96-03 (riveted) pads.
I’m looking for a Premium braking pad.
There are the usual DBA, Bendex, Ferodo, RDA and then there is a heap of new brands I’ve never used!

What are your thoughts over brands and ceramic or semi metallic etc.

Cheers Phil.

After doing a bit of reading I ended up buying TRW ceramic pads.
I got a good deal through Spareszone! They sent through an order confirmation and tracking number within the hour!
I’ll let you know how they turn out.
Cheers Phil.

Hey Trav,
Great to see they are Australian owned and made!
I’ll remember that in future!
Cheers Phil.

I had very good run with their HPX pads (street and light track duties)

EBC Red or Green Stuff

EBC's are great but hard on your rotors. I just put ceramic RDA's in my Amarok with new dimpled/slotted and cross drilled discs and they perform well.
