2016 brakes WTF

[marobrown]

Ok, I’ve spent time searching and can’t find anything. Can anyone help with brakes on my car, I’ve looked at rock auto, oreilly, advance auto and autozone. I’m finding some listing rotor sizes, some don’t. Rock auto lists pads with or without performance package, which mine doesn’t not. Does it matter which size rotors I run?

I’m going to replace all, I know I have a warped rotor in the rear, used to have my rotors turned but the local machine shop closed and it’s just too difficult to travel 25 miles to get it done.

I was considering just ordering a power stop kit and calling it a day.

The rotors are the same performance package or not. 13.9" is the size for 13+. 10-12 had like 12.8". Pads are just different shape.

Ok that’s what I had been reading, but seeing different sizes was throwing me off. I’m standing outside work now on my smoke break and have a se Taurus sitting right next to mine and can see the rotors look the same on it.

I replaced mine with some cheaper blank rotors, and oem motorcraft performance package pads on my non performance package car

I did that too, but my Ford dealer refused to install the Z23 PP pads even though they fit perfectly, claiming "they're not the right part." BS. I had a local shop install them and bedded them per PowerStop's instructions and there was an immediate difference. (BTW, my OEM pads were not excessively worn when I replaced them.)

most dealer techs are trained to only install motorcraft parts, most won't even install stuff you bring to them, it's typically a workmanship warranty and they can't warranty the service on parts they didn't personally procure.
