My brakes recently became squeaky and instead of just bringing my '05 GT in and having them replaced at Ford, I was wondering what experts here's recommendations were for good powerful aftermarket brakes? Would I have to get rotors too, or just pads? Thanks!

 

There is a recall on the '05s for this. The rears are the cuprit. There is a TSB on it. Search here and you'll find it. I had it done on mine and it works like a charm.

 

I put cheap autozone duralast ceramic brake pads on ($38) the rears and no more squeaky

 

The OEM pads are supposed to be Akebono organic pads.
