I couldnt think of the name ron ... but you mentioned it in this thread ...
the pads I had where EBC reds for the 96 brake upgrades. I ran those pads(
around $115 if memory serves me correct for the set) and of course Fords
heavy duty brake fluid.
I had no issues with this set up with my Sr 72 . Of course being about 400
pds lighter than most SHO's helps too !
