The oldest I've used as a daily is my '55 Ford. Could stand to get some brakes on it, but otherwise it was fine.
I put brake pads on my father-in-laws Ford Taurus and put a sticker as such on the rear bumper.
They were super friendly and helped me get the best brakes for my Suburban. They literally made the brakes specifically for me and I picked them up a few days later. Definitely a quality product, too.
In terms of driving impressions, well...it feels heavy and clumsy around town. The steering is very heavy...forget twirling the wheel with a finger. The shifter is mounted low and away. It takes effort to shift, and it's very solid and mechanical (rod shifter). The clutch is progressive but the friction point is not very obvious. Ride is quite good, and push through the clumsy feeling and she can dance. Brakes are hysterically soft, typical for a SHO.
I was still on the original pads/rotors when I sold it back in '04 and not a day goes by that I don't miss it.
yea r1 concept is a good brand. my friend has them on his 2000 tt and he installed them himself , both the brake pads and the rotors. he painted his calipers red and with the drilled and slotted rotors it looks sick.
I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
