What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

The listings are confused even at fordparts.com, so you and I are about in the same boat. "Package 1" has referred to the Perf Pkg in the past and I assume it continues to do so. BUT I do see a listing for
2001 (BRSD-1611-A)
Brake Shoe or Disc Pad
Police Version SHO ; SHO Package 1; Severe Duty Pads (Front)
$72.69 $72.69
And that is what I would go with if buying OEM pads for best performance.
They do have a "standard" version also, not what I would use if upgrading.

So many of the brake parts are interchangeable it's hard to keep track. I went with the Police spec Raybestos solid rotors after warping the stock ones. Ordered them as though I have a Police Interceptor if memory serves correct.
I don't think there's any stopping power benefit, but I can tell you they were a few pounds heavier than the factory rotors and look beefy.
Paired them with PP factory calipers, Raybestos Police spec pads and ATE Super fluid.
Overall, the brakes are still pretty poor. I think the stability control system just works them too hard during aggressive cornering which gets them near overheating before I actually need them. The fade and sounds they make are not confident inspiring when coming down the back side of the mountains around my house.

I would go with the OEM Motorcraft brakes which are backed up by a two year unlimited miles warranty,along with a brake system flush. Z

what pads were you running with those rotors?StealBlueSho said:

there's been better feedback from the 13+ group on the powerstop brakes and they also offer the "top cop" version which uses better pads but i THINK the rotors are the same. so upgrading to the 13+ brakes could be an option if you want to stay slotted at a reasonable cost. and of course there's ebc wether you go 13+ or not. i've even seen some mixed reviews on those too.
OEM is probably the safest route

Aftermarket slotted/drilled rotors are a complete waste of money for anything but bling. Open track they're lucky if they last 3-4 laps before scaling/cracking, or even completely separating from the hub. My personal experience years ago and I continue to see it first hand Unless the entire brake system is designed correctly from the ground up, stay away from those rotors if you plan on any kind of performance driving other than going to church with grandma.
Slowly getting it there...

I have the same deal but its $48 a month but with that, they hand dry the car, hand clean the wheels, treat the tires, vacuum/wipe down the inside and clean all windows inside and out!
Yes, it is unlimited also! Some times I just run through the tunnel but other times, when time permits, I'll get the whole the thing done. Been there twice this week, Mon and today!
Little TLC after a couple nights at the track.

Gave this a shot today to see how well (long) it lasts... did a great job bring the plastic trim around the bottom back to life.
