Edge ST brake issues / replacement suggestions

[Phil69]

(Canada)  I have the 401A package with upgraded brakes on my 2019 ST, which suck. My front rotors & pads have been replaced by Ford 3 times, rears twice & I've only done 85000km. The front pads were rusted to caliper so had them serviced. Brake judder & grinding very bad again. I don't want to go with Ford brakes again, can anyone recommend a good brake package to go with, probably calipers too? I have red caliper covers (bought separately from MGP) as they didn't come with the package in Canada, so looking for possible red or blue calipers. Thanks for any help / advice / suggestions - Phil

I recently changed my rear brake pads and rotors with AutoZone  elite brake pads and duralast gold rotors. I. have the standard ST brakes  on ,mine. I replaced them because there were groove patterns on the driver side rotor for some time now. The pads were actually OK, no unusual wear so I don't know what was causing it. I did replace all the hardware and so far so good, but I don't even have 1000 miles on them yet. If you're doing the rears yourself make sure to put the parking brake in service mode!  My front brakes are doing fine. 

Also, I cleaned most of the rust off and used brake lube on the contact points indicated in the service manual. I also sprayed fluid film around the hub area etc to help slow the rust. My wheels and rotors were stubborn  to get off.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'd not heard of these. One thread said they are heavy but will take a look. I'll have a local shop change them as I don't have the tools.
