My brakes are about to s**t themselves again, extremely bad shudder and overheating. Last time they did this, ford machined them and said it will happen again, a ford defect and that there was nothing I could do about it. They said heat problems always warp the rotor. But i'm sure from what i've heard that after market would be the next logical step. I was gonna take it into a shop and just get em to do it, but a guy at work who's good with cars said just to buy them and he'll put them in for me. Said to just get a set of rotors, and some good pads. He said the stock calipers are fine to reuse. He mentioned checking on ebay for brembos or DBA's. There isn't much on ebay , however I found this:
It has the model numbers DBA504X and DBA505X. Does this sound right? and is the price decent? also, what should I get in terms of pads? Cheers in advance for any help.

the fronts do 70% of the stopping and they were the first to get warped..
When my rears die ill probably end up getting slotted as well as its only about $30 extra each side. I used bendix ultimate pads |

yeah smilie get some DBA SLOTS, they made a huge differance to my cars brakes when i got mine, i got all 4.
from memory i paid $110 a corner, then got lucus (sports? cant remember) pads great bite just masses of dust, every car ive seen with bendex ultimates, has chewed out the rotors. |

It's funny how everyone is saying there's a big difference by just putting slotted rotors and new pads. I went from standard brakes to PBR upgrades which has slotted rotors and braided lines and while it was better I never really found them that much better
 Since I put Brembo's I've noticed a big change and now I'm pretty happy with my brakes.

I've found pads make a heaps bigger difference then rotor type.
