I'm sure everyone here is a big boy and can make their own choices based on established members recommendations.
I apologize. Won't happen again.

WHOA, better put the flame suit on. OK, poor choice of words but I was basically joking. Ya, I push for Carquest because I believe in them time and time again. You ask what has no dust, I tell you. I won't make things up based on "theory", but first hand and second hand from others that I plainly see myself. I'll agree on the over sensitive part, sorry beechkid, but I was kidding. I don't particularly agree with all what he said on the fluid, all I know is you can't mix 3 with 5 so a 100% flush needed, but since mxracer49 knows me so well, you should know me to agree 1000% about the rotors, no?
"For street use, slotted/drilled rotors are just “cheese-graters” for the brake pads IMHO, because unless you are involved in true racing conditions, the brake linings do not produce the gases which slotted/drilled rotors are designed to relive. In some cases, brake testing indicated reduce brake efficiency in street-based operations using slotted/drilled rotors when equal comparisons were made."- beechkid
And I will agree Motorcraft has good pads, I don't think they are for newer F-150's or Escapes though- dust.

Um, ya, I'm with ya. Sounds like a sales pitch, even got a 800 number. For the fluid though, you'd basically have to flush and replace ALL, not just most of the existing DOT 3 fluid. I have DOT 5 in my other car because I started with a completely new set of everything that fluid would hit. In lieu of the OP's request of upgrading, he has done so. Anything usually is better than stock. I'm finding ceramics to be a bit better in stopping, dusting or lack of is incredible.

is anyone using EBC greenstuff? like the 6000 series? threre a little pricey like Hawk, but very dissapointed with the Hawk dust, but i'd rather wear the pad down than replace rotors. I'm curious about the "grip" and dusting on the EBC. Recently went back to my thermoquiets. '05 XLT scab 4 x 2 975, 373, FM 44. rossford
