Hello everyone,
I am about to replace my brakes (discs/pads). The original brakes (OME) are horrible and I am looking into getting better equipment (bear, EBC, Hawk etc). Any recommendations what brakes I could use. I have the 19 inch wheels ( none performance package).

Thanks
JS

 

Could you shed some light on what you mean by "The brakes are horrible"?

 

When driving at higher speeds and braking hard the brakes are fading very quickly and loosing grip. According to Ford they are still fine. These brakes are not sufficient for a +4000 # car and no match to European cars. So I am hoping to find some better brakes. Thanks for reply

 

You could probably find pads with a higher friction material. Generally, they don't last as long as the OEM recommended type.
Would be a good move to get another check/opinion to make sure everything is working as it should before considering changing anything.
Always better to confirm proper operation, before possibly masking a problem with different parts.

 

According to my catalogue there are specific pads that work on the SHO (and some other upgraded Taurus models) only. They should be sufficient under usual driving conditions.
