I am right around 33k miles, and after I had the X dropped, my Indy (Bergen Imports) told me to start thinking about front brakes. So like the rest of my 4.6 brethren, I firgured since I am going inside, why not upgrade....... Silver 5: you answered a question I was about to ask.

I'm that good!

I did mine right around 56k. Pads were worn, rotors had a little more life left, but i swapped them out (they were warped)

Thanks for the responses - Have 70K on my 2001, but since it was originally a 3yr lease car in Philly and was sold with exactly 36,000 miles on it (r-r-right), I think they did the brakes and added new tires before selling it without CPO (I'm 3rd owner) - Since I'm selling it, I guess I'll have to discount the cost of a brake job from my original selling price - My 2006 will have 30K on it by the end of the month (13 months old next week) - I'll have my Idaho mechanic check the brakes when he does the oil change - I, too, plan to switch to Axxis pads when the time comes.

I ordered these powerstop today with the free UPS ground as I'm not in a rush. Ill let you know if they work :thumbup:

No go on these powerstops! Got a call yesterday and they are out of stock and they were not able to get them or locate them. Looks like its just regular vented rotors for me now!

Ok, the search continues. I stumbled across these. I will place an order for them in the next day or so:

I have also found powder coated calipers at a decent price. They are reconditioned OEM calipers that work on a core exchange basis:

The drilled with the powdercoated brakes would be a pretty good looking set up at a decent price......
