Update; after a few days I am noticing that the Pads are bedding in . People who have not used these pads on the F will always have something negative to say until they try them. If these pads were a danger to me and my Family; I would have taken them off. I have had them installed for about a week now and there's hardly any dust on the rims. The stopping power feels better than my previous Stoptech pads. They honestly feel like OEM pads when braking. The reason why I did not go with Stoptech again is because; it was squealing like crazy and dust was driving me nuts even tho it was way better than OEM which produces alot of dust. I am going to change out my wife's OEM pads on her 2015 F-SPORT with these. I hate cleaning them every week.

Yep, the Stoptech pads squeal like F'ing pigs! I hate them. They came on the car, so I can't guarantee that they were anti-squeeled or broken in correctly, but I've had Stoptech pads on many of my cars with all sorts of rotors and never had any issues with noise, or even the amount of brake dust these make. And I've never done any rigorous bedding on any other set I've had and zero noise. I hate these pads and will probably replace soon.

I want maximal stopping power too, but for street driving the calipers of the F and some fresh brake fluid are going to stop very well no matter what pad is on there, which provides a bit of leeway.

I opted out from buying new rotors when replacing my rear pads. My rotors did have grooves in them by nature so I resurfaced them myself and after 3 months, the pads are still working well and the rotor is wearing evenly.
