coronan Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I want to create a data base of how long x pads last. How long x rotors last. I've just turned 100K on my Edge. I know there are other folks on this forum with at least twice that many miles. My last setup lasted 40K mi maybe (2k mi towing, no trailer brakes, 3k RV) Stock rotors turned. Pads (unknown make / model) I didnt install them my self. They Squeaked from day 1 until they were metal on metal. Any recomended setups? If the Stock ford equipment lasts 80K mi, its tempting to go back to that. I don't care what you just installed. 1. What has gone through the test of time??? 2. Does it squeak? 3. Improved stopping distances? 4. Do you tow? What? Trailer Brakes? 5. How many miles did you get on your Pads / Rotors? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I changed my fronts out the first time at about 175K miles and the rears at 225k miles on my 2008 ford Edge.Orange Crush New standard rotors and semi metalic pads. Brakes did grind and squeak in mornings first run. No towing No noticeable change in braking I changed the fronts and rears out at about 100k miles on my 2011 Lullebelle ( I do not expect to have to change them again until about 300K miles) New rotors are High Carbon Steel New pads are ceramic Rears have Low Frequency Noise dampers and they do work no noise. No noise at all. Full bled and changed out brake fluid. No towing Braking is firm and IMO improved.

fishx65 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I've got 60,000 on my 11 SEL and I'm just starting to feel a warped rotor up front. I do about 50/50 city/hwy. Probably gonna change out the originals before winter since I already purchased everything. I always go with Wagner Thermos or Raybestos Blues cuz they don't dust much and I picked up four new rotors for $25.00 each with Advance Auto codes. I did disassemble the brakes at about 40,000 to check them and regrease everything. Speaking from past experience, it's a good idea to go through the break system every 30-40 thousand miles if ya live in a salt belt cuz things tend to lockup and then break.
