Sorry if this is a simple question. I need to replace my brake pads. Just wondering if there are any good/bad ones out there. I seem to remember my friend being able to get Cobra pads for his 2000 GT. Are there better brake pads than others? Any recommendations?

As far as parts store stuff Chris, I have been fairly happy with PFC pads from AZ. You are more 'enthusiastic' than I am, so you might want something better.

I dont know about retrofitting newer pads.

Good luck bud.

Thanks JT. I'm not really hardcore into brakes, I personally feel my stock ones are adequate for stopping. But lately they seem to be wearing down. They have been squealing, and my brake light has been coming on too. I'm not gonna try and fit 99+ cobra pads in mine. Just wondering since 99 Cobra pads fit on his GT, maybe some 94 Cobra pads would fit on mine, and if they are any better.

I'd use OEM replacements from Ford or Hawk pads. I got good performance from them with slotted rotors.

cobra pads will not fit on a gt caliper, as far as i know. the cobra pads look way different. they are the same for the rears i think. i use nothing but hawk pads on all my vehicles for the last 6 years and will use nothing else.

I read another thread about brakes, and I kept seeing people mention Hawk pads. Looks like that might be the way I go.
