That's good to hear. Glad to get that clarified between the different pads. I'm looking into buying a set now, so that makes things easier. I'm leaning towards the EBC red stuff, and USR rotors. From reading the EBC website, it looks like EBC outsources the RK rotors and then does their quality control stuff, and surface finishing to make them black. While it looks like the USR rotors are made by EBC... but then some of the language is a bit ambiguous and they might both be outsourced, lol. I may give them a call later today and find out for sure.
EDIT: I called EBC and it turns out that there are some rotors that they buy from OEM manufacturers and then do their own quality control on. The rotors for our cars specifically do NOT fall in that category. Ours are manufactured in house, from scratch. It took a while for me to get across what I was asking to the rep, but once it was cleared up she knew exactly what I was talking about. She looked it up and said that since these rotors were shared by so many Ford vehicles, it made sense for them to manufacture them instead of source them. Phew...
