I think they'd be a good vendor to have on board...

It looks like we ran them out of rear kits, lol.

They are kindly sending out my sorely needed fronts and the rears will be along in a week or so.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I suspect unless somebody looks very closely yours will look just as good.

Love the yellowstuff pads but.....my mechanic while putting on the new struts noticed the pads he put on 2 months or 2,200 miles ago and commented that they are down 25% already.....wtf....I not race at track etc. I on par to get 18,000 to 20,000 miles out of the front set!

I guess sometimes worn out struts, shocks will cause the brakes to wear out prematurely due to the overall weight factor shifting to the front when stopping causing excessive wear. Z

Both inner and outer?  Slide pins greased regularly?  They should last a lot longer.

I don't think 20k is bad for yellow stuff...They are a pretty aggressive pad....I have the yellows in the rear of my fusion and the bluestuff in the front...I expect more than 20k but I have them in the rear...If I don't get 20k from the front I'm ok with that also though.

You could do front pads in less than 2 hours from wheel on to wheel back on so I don't think that's bad...You could get some EBC green or red that would last much longer but not perform...Performance has it's cost.

The Lincoln came with Yellowstuff and they are no joke, they are a huge improvement to the weak gen 4.1 brakes. To make that much difference in an overweight and underbraked platform pretty much guarantees they aren't going to be a long lasting pad.

For me the initial bite is actually a little too aggressive, especially in snow and rain.

Hopefully the Redstuffs will be more linear and wear longer.

I ordered my brakes on 12/11 and still don't have them.

They were initially out of rear kits which was fine as the fronts are what need replaced, they said they'd split the shipment and send the fronts.

I reached out Tuesday and they said they would investigate and I'd hear back in 24 hours...didn't happen.

Called today, closed.

If I don't get these brakes quick i'm going to have to cancel and mate my pretty rotors with OEM 4.2 parts.

I'm currently in an email exchange with them.

It appears someone dropped the ball so we shall see how they handle it.

I will give them props for responding quickly during non business hours.
