pads for the 96 brake upgrade

[viperrt450]

first which style of pads will fit the 96 brake upgrade? And second which ones r the best for hard driving. I have a set from a 96 SHO and they don't fit.

 

[Xs SHO 1]

it depends on the on the setup u have. by the way, did u find ur caliper bracket? if u have the '95 Continental bracket, the '95 Continental pads will fit. again, i believe that the '95 Continental and '96 SHO have interchangeable parts, same part just different part NUMBER......

I run the "Ceramix" pads that Doug Lewis sent me when I ordered my '96 brake upgrade. I like them a lot. They are comparable to the Carbotech Type F pads I have in the rear. These pads (the Type Fs) are discontinued.

The '96 SHO pad will fit. I know, because that's the size I run up front. If they don't fit, something is wrong wink

I don't know why you say the 96 SHO pads won't fit. i have them , direct from my friendly Ford dealer on my 95 SHO and they work great, of course they cost more than pads at autozone, but they are good pads. I have had them on my car for a year and not appreciable sign of wear.

i tried putting the 96 pads on but they will not fit under the brackets on to the caliper. The pads that i got are the carbotech panther pads. I'm going to try agian to put them on.

Just make sure that you are pushing the piston all the way back.

Here is the Ford pad for the Gen 3 SHO. XF3Z-2001-CB $ 57.99 from www.fordpartsnetwork.com

Do not get the Motorcraft as they are not as good.
