are there redstuffs for the rear?
From what I was reading regarding different EBC pads, the yellows are also likely to eat up your rotors quicker as well. My cup of tea is definitely redstuff for any automatic car over 3200 lbs that may be braking heavily and repeatedly....like I do whenever I get onto the twisty mountain roads here. 150 corners in 12 miles with about a mile's worth (gross) of elevation change? HELL yes.
At the very least, if keeping the rotors, be sure to have them turned or resurfaced.Yes, good observation. In fact, my $30 Autozone specials warped within 1000 miles after putting Greenstuff on.
I would highly recommend a rotor upgrade if using any EBC pad. I ended up getting a pair of frozen rotors for around $200...they haven't warped at all in over 20k miles.
We put performance friction and hawk pads on the crown vic lemons car and it stopped awesome. Great feel, no fade, no noise (not that i'd have heard the brakes over the rest of the noise anyway).
I really wouldn't bother with a big brake kit. Pull your ABS fuse and stomp on the brakes. If it won't lock them, time for bigger ones.
For street use, stock brakes, good pads, bleed the brakes and run a decent DOT 4 fluid, and forget about it. Even on a modified car. Unless you're doing track days, don't bother with big ones. Only other reason for bigger brakes is the bling factor behind some oversized wheels.

My 2 cents...
Since the '96 has the up-sized Cobra brake setup on the front and the '93 does not, I have found myself wanting the same brake package on the '93. There is a significant increase in brake performance with the Cobra brakes on the FN10 platform in my opinion.
It is most evident at the track but still very perceptible on the street as well.
Bigger is better! LOL
And they are pretty and red.
Ooppps, forgot that!
I plan both front and rear on the '93. DLF has all my stuff ready to go, I just need to make arrangements to Git-R-Dun.

Hell, I probably won't even be able to find your stuff anymore.
If you really want brakes, Brembos make Cobra brakes seem anemic.
On my SC, I went from stock, to Cobra, to Brembo. Each time the improvement was dramatic.
On my Cobra, I had trouble stopping the thing until I installed Brembos.
So the LSC hit the road with Brembos.
MMM, purrrdy! I take it your car will never see 16" wheels again? (Or at least for a very long time?)
autoanything.com has all four colors of pads, but you would need to look them up by part number rather than vehicle model...they only list the first four pads below for Mark VIII's...not sure why.
DP21164 EBC Greenstuff Street Sport; Disc Pads; Rear;
DP21168 EBC Greenstuff Street Sport; Disc Pads; Front;
UD598 EBC Ultimax Pad Set; Disc Pads; Front;
UD599 EBC Ultimax Pad Set; Disc Pads; Rear;
DP41166R EBC High Friction (yellowstuff) Upgrade And Race; Disc Pads; Front;
DP31166C EBC Redstuff Low Dust Superstreet; Disc Pads; Front;
So I ordered the Yellowstuffs DP4116R from auto anything and this is what I got:
I am now considering the KVR pads from SCP, anyone have experience with those?
