Which brakes? (Not Marauder related)

[Breadfan]

My folks need brakes and rotors on their '02 Continental, I went to RockAuto to order some and found an array of choices.

I felt confident I could choose the best ones, in this case best being good quality for a good price. I'm looking for the mid-range that will give good braking and quiet operation.

After looking at all the choices I feel perplexed.

Each manufacturer seems to have a number to choose from and there are not good descriptions for all. How do semi-metallics, ceramics, and organics stack up? I didn't realize it but it appears some of the ceramics use organic material as well but some do not. (Based on the descriptions at least...)

Just looking for opinions on the best midrange set to get, this isn't a performance car but right now it's got a bad shimmy when brakings probably due to warped rotors so I want to do pads too.

Rotors: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,1896

Pads: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,1684

(Note, only doing fronts, rears should be fine!)

I used raybestos severe service loaded calipers and rotors on my 1997 CVPI last decemeber when I got rid of it. They were awesome, initial bite sucked, but about 20 miles of break-in and they were the best brakes I have ever used, very resistant to fade and solid braking at ANY speed. I bought an entire set of loaded calipers and rotors F&R for a tad under $500.

I would just put OEM back on the nice Continental at a good LM dealer...

I would go with the Wagner Thermoquiet.. I am going to use those on the Marauder.

Thanks they did look pretty good, they are listed as organic material, is that less superior than semi-metallic or ceramic?

Hands down, Wagner Thermoquiet.
