Lets go with spirited street use.
Definitely not track days. I'm not too worried about pad life. I'm interested in pads that bite hard from cold, and can sustain reasonable repeated hard braking. The combo on my EL wagon, is those DBA 4000 series heat treated rotors, plus Bendix Ultimate pads. The pads are about 1/3 worn in 30,000km, but have also eaten the rotor a bit. Even with the brake upgrade, the braking response on the above EL, is not all that confidence inspiring, not without significant pedal effort. The brake upgrade included new genuine ford/PBR front calipers, slides etc. (not rebuilt) The EF wagon I also own, has a markedly better pedal feel and braking response, (even BEFORE the below upgrades) but has extended pedal travel, which takes some getting used to. The EF got a similar treatment to the EL - DBA (non heat treated) slotted rotors, QFM HPX pads and I rebuilt the original front calipers with new genuine PBR pistons, and genuine Ford/PBR seals etc.

The rotors are $260 a pair for the front in the T2 and we should be able to get some HPX pads for about $90. Freight is extra
