Power Stop 17-804, Z17 Front Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware For Ford Mustang 1999-2004 [Model Specific]

Just installed these on a 2000 Mustang GT along with Power Stop Cross Drilled/Slotted rotors. I did not follow the break in as described in the brochure because I have not had good luck with that method in the past. Instead I took a leisurely drive of about 60 miles using the brakes lightly for the first 30 miles then a bit more heavily for the next 20 miles by exiting the freeway and stopping at the end of the ramp in a normal fashion. I would then re-enter the freeway and drive 3-5 miles before exiting again. This heats the brakes and then allows them to cool for a complete heat cycle. I did this three times. During the final 10 miles I did 2 applications bringing the vehicle from 60 to 20 mph aggressively. I could smell the brakes but there was no indication of overheating the rotors and the brakes work great now. They are quiet, smooth and a great improvement over the stock parts.UPDATE 1/2/2015 These pads are the dirtiest, dustiest brake pads I have ever used. Low dust my eye! That said, they are not too bad but seem to work best if used aggressively. The rotors are holding up very well.

They are very dusty. These brake pads wore unevenly down to the backing in less then 3000 miles of mostly freeway driving. Total garbage. They even started to delaminate.I will stick with my local supplier whose brake pads last for 60k+ miles every time.
