i. Checked out your pictures and noticed slotted drilled rotors....
i want to do the same on my 2005 MGM..... does it improve the braking over stock and what type pads do you recommend????
You sure have a nice looking MGM 👍
The drilled and slotted brake rotors on the 95 MERC are specialty performance products by ACDelco, made for police and other severe-service applications.
I chose these brakes for long-distance, high-speed cruising and mountain driving in the Rockies.
As installed, the brakes stop quickly and smoothly, with no shake or shudder. Pad and Rotor wear are normal, with NO squeaking.
I used NAPA's Eclipse Calipers all around, with new Raybestos Brake Hoses and D.O.T. 5.1 Hi-Temp Brake Fluid.
The ACDelco rotors were very expensive -- and are no longer available.
The best rotors currently available for your 2005 Marquis =
PowerStop - part # AR8165XPR - fits REAR - 2 pcs. @39.79 for both
PowerStop - part # AR8164XPR - fits FRONT - 2 pcs @ 50.79 for both
Police Brake Pads -- Front - Motorcraft #BRSD-678
Rear - Motorcraft #BR107B
The Pads and Rotors are available at RockAuto.com -- Great selection and great prices !!.
I get parts from Amazon.com, too -- great prices, Prime delivery, and excellent return policy, too Right Front Brakes - Eclipse Calipers; Motorcraft Police Pads; ACDelco Drilled&Slotted Rotors; DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid; Raybestos Hoses.
