One drawback to the bendix is the new rotors need machining every 20K or so, but all up the combination should last at least double Fords equipment and improves the braking (pedal feel and stopping distance) considerably: it's how the car should have come from factory, and as more Fez owners need to replace their rotors they hopefully too will enjoy such a benefit (as long as they go with quality aftermarket stuff and not back to Ford).....
