:lol: Someone doesn't have much experience with Ford brake pads for the Focus :rolleyes: .

i took the OEM pads off my car at around 65000km and there was still around 15% material left. there were several autoX events on those pads too.

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
