Go to rockauto and look up pads
You will have a huge choice. Semi metallic brake better and handle heat better but usually creates more dust
Ceramic is less dust but don’t brake as well
Why do you need rotors ?

For rotors, get the cheapest blank from rockauto too

I've seen the selection they have in rock auto/summit and so forth but wanted to see what real people are saying about the brands as I've only been using OEM since purchasing the car back in'15.

I haven't used them on my Mustang but power stop has some good kits with rotors and pads. I got the last set from amazon probably 6 years ago and man they have gone up in price!

I bought a kit for my older mercedes and they sent the wrong rear pads. I stuck the old pads on and emailed them. No reply so emailed amazon, long story they said " you asked for help and they didn't reply so you are getting a full refund" when I said I can't send 3/4 of it back.
I even said " can't you just send me the pads"

I felt bad and told amazon " I don't need a refund just the rear pads" but they insisted.
Just ordered the pads and was good to go.
wasn't a big deal since my old rear pads were only 50% worn out.
