:lol: Someone doesn't have much experience with Ford brake pads for the Focus :rolleyes: .
the OEM pads feel just as good and seem to stop the car as well as the hawk HPS pads i'm using right now
it sounds like you have had a bad experience with ford OEM pads, or they wore down quickly.. i don't know what to say to that. perhaps there is variablity in the quality
but i have found the OEM pads to be just fine for autoX and street us, and i believe people that used them for track days also without any problems
IMHO if the pad can handle open track, and be autoXed and still last 65000km.. its not a bad product at all
