Hi, all. I have a 1.6 2003 Focus. Front disks and drums at the rear. I too have noticed the fade and less than brilliant brake performance, although I am very happy with the car overall.

From what I read so far, EBC pads seem to be the favorite choice, greenstuff low dust. I'll get the shoes too (I think they do them) if it is generally agreed that this is the best / most cost effective upgrade.

Can you confirm this? Also, anyone know if there is a kit for this upgrade available and where from?

Thanks
