Like anything in life, I guess the best brake pad types are dependent on the person and what they want. Ceramic pads worked very well for me and the rest of my family. The caveat is that the Expedition is heavier than the cars / trucks /SUVs we've had in the family, so *maybe* there will be a difference and ceramics will suck on this truck, I don't know...

For now it still has the police-type SSV pads on it, which are semi-metallic I believe. I will probably swap them out for Bendix ceramic pads in a not-so-distant future.

As for my braking style, it is true that I tend to be hard on the brakes... I brake at the last moment and take off fast from a stop too. Probably something to do with my emergency driving training and having driven cars / SUVs in stop and go manner for a living, lol!

I have them on my 2010. Factory rotors warped so I gave these a try. No complaints. I’ve put 60k miles on the rotors without any warping.
