Define "last a while"?

stock brakes are fine, its not like they'll wear out anytime soon after you get them, they are very grippy for stock brakes

how do you feel about the stock brakes?

 

well I have the Checker Raybesto ones on mine and their fine.

 

Well..stock pads are good, but pretty expensive. I've got Hawk HPS pads on mine, they work GREAT, and they're 50 a pop. Much better than the autozone **** I had on it before.

 

don't falme me for this but it's for the moutains and i need the best and the stock feel good but after a while the pedal feels really loose and not safe.

 

that's mostly coming from you fluid heating up, and your stock rubber lines expanding. Get some Stainless steal braided brake lines, and some high quality, high temp brake fluid. The system could probably use a good flush anyway. Seriously lines, and like some Motul brake fluid, it'll make a world of difference.

 

i saw brembo front rotors in summit for 30 bucks each yesterday

 

On a side note, I have no clue what the PO put on my car, but my pads/rotors have ~40K miles atleast and there's plenty of thickness left.

I'd say that's good wear.

 

( FDreaming) yeah i do have the Stainless steal braided brake lines but your right it could use a flush is dot5 the blue stuff?

 

Do your research before doing something stupid like this.

Get the Ford spec DOT 3 fluid. Cheapest stuff out there and has a 550F dry boiling point. The only problem is that it absorbs water faster than other fluids so you have to change it more often. If you use this stuff with pretty much any pad, I will be very surprised if you have brake problems.

Odds are that the reason you are fading is due to old brake fluid or air in the lines.
