I priced out a pair of lifetime guaranteed brakes from Ford and they wanted $180 (Don't know if that was installed, but I'm guessing it would be).

i'm not sure how any place can guarantee a wear item like brake linings for life.. that seems very shady to me..

my guess is that they will chew up rotors like crazy and probably won't perform as well as OEM in terms of stopping ability

personally, I wouldn't go with

a) a 'unknown' pad like from midas
B) any pad that has a 'lifetime guarantee'

if you went with ford, get the same part that originally came on the focus..

just FYI.. hawk hps cost me around 60usd for the front pair, and the OEM ones cost about the same
