Not recommended for Ford Crown Victoria

Not recommended for Ford Crown Victoria! (And check your OEM pads for stabilization clips, which are NOT included in this kit!) I bought this kit thinking I'd pay a little more for the quality and not have to pick/ship the parts individually, but I did I was wrong. the rotor was ok (how could you screw up the rotor?) but the rest of the kit wasn't great! Not only were the pads missing some of the stabilization clips that the OEM pads had (partially my fault for not double checking them, but the manufacturer claimed they were exactly to OEM specs, which wasn't true - and I DON'T mean that). Main Rosebud fittings which were fine), the brake pads didn't fit at all and required a lot of force and pushing the rotor/caliper assembly to get everything into place - not normal. In addition, the retaining clips that attach to the backplate (obviously a REQUIRED part to replace when changing disc brake pads) did not fit at all, not even close! I returned this overpriced kit and opted for the basic rotor and a quality set of monroe pads in portions. The price was lower and everything about the Monroe bars was better - all the clips (not the main rosebud clips, which were fine in this kit, but the extra stabilizing clips, which weren't) on the Monroe bars matched the original bars agree, the strips fit. with ease and the abutment clips fit perfectly so I didn't have to reuse old bent and rusty factory clips which I would have if I was using this kit. I contacted the manufacturer and they answered my call/email but they were not helpful at all - suffice it to say I will not be buying any more Power Stop products. The price was higher than most and you actually get lower quality parts. If you have a Ford, particularly the Crown Victoria, do not purchase this kit.
