Hi I have posted about having very hard, non grabby brakes on here and others w/ ceramic pads seem to be having the same experience. I found a set of the pads, front and rear, that I took off my car when it had 23k miles on them. I am assuming they are the originals bc the rotors I took off at that time were original too, but I just want to verify

The pads in question have "FMxxxx" part numbers printed on the top of the friction material for each pad. Ford Motors?

The pads have a ton left on them and I sanded them flat on a piece of glass just enough to de glaze and true them up so I can break them in on the newest rotors on the car and see if the pedal feel is improved.

Thanks
