these were on ebay
My problem with all the fords I own is that they produce way too much brake dust. We all know what the rims end up looking like after even shot trips. So I would like to find replacement pads that dont dust up so bad. Has anybody tried these guys? Or any other brand you would recomend?
Do the harder brakes
affect performance driving?

Todd, I found this site. Can't say if good or not. But I was considering ordering a set for the same reasons you are. Any one else got any ideas?

Roger, when looking at the site - the "Red" pads have the same part number for front and back.. Need to check the manual to see if there are any differences first. They sound good - 50% less dusty - better stopping power for "tuned" cars!

I have used the Green Stuff pads on a Mini-Cooper with white wheels. They definitely dust much less. The trade off is occasional squeal since they are a harder pad. They do not fade as much as the stock Cooper pads. I do not know on how they affect braking work on a GT.
