Got a very good deal from AED on the Brembo brake replacement rotors, pads, 2 bottles of Motul 600, and titanium shims.
I also picked up the Vorshlag backing plates. It was a tough call between those and the Blowfish - honestly i like both designs but i decided to go with Vorshlag because they cut out and modify the original Ford parts, and it has a little tab that keeps heat off of the tie rod end.
Everything fit perfectly and went together easy. During break in now and the drivers side is squeaking a bit, i think that will go away over time though - i hope! pads are Raybestos ST31's (also known as Girodisc SS pads). they are sreet and limited track day - a step up from normal pads they handle 800F - but nothing like a race pad that is designed for 1150-1350F.
A lot of people swap pads at the track, and i was told by Girodisc that the titanium shims will only help if you are using a race pad - they reduce heat transfer help stop the fluid from boiling. with the ST31 pads this is not an issue.
have not installed the 3" silicone ducts yet, that looks like a pain in the ass - pull the bumper to trim off the fog light mounts, cut a piece out of the plastic wheel well on the drivers side, and reloate the horn.. passenger side the issue is moving the washer fluid reservoir over.
i highly recommend this setup, it bites hard and stops much smoother from highway speeds than my factory 1pcs Brembo's.
