I'm going to be literally overhauling my entire brake system after summer, and have slowly started gathering the parts. However, I need to do something about my front brakes this week.
I've got regular Friction Master MKD748 pads up front that have just under 25% left, so the fronts need attention right now. I got a set of Raybestos Professional Grade semi-metallics on eBay for $28 shipped to Kuwait, which isn't a bad deal at all - Motorcraft's BR26A costs $32 versus their Super Duty pads at $41.
The front rotors are grooved, and there's no point in resurfacing them because they're almost at minimum thickness. Considering this is a safety issue, I'm going to be replacing the rotors with the pads. I have 3 choices:
- Motorcraft BRR64 at $41 each
- Geniune Ford F8VZ-1125-AA at $60 each
- No name Chinese rotors at $18 each
I'm not keen on the Chinese rotors, so that leaves me with the Motorcraft value and Genuine Ford rotors. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? Thanks!
