Just had a quote from Ford for front pads and they've come up at 209.74 for standard or for the performance ones 382.76.

How on earth can this be right? I know genuine stuff can be expensive but that's just daft.

 

I use standard Ferodo Premiere pads in mine.... Retail at £40, part number FDB1508, just cut the wear indicator wires off and job done!!!!!

fords are a rip off when it comes to rs parts,theres a guy on rsoc that will get you them cheaper than that,username carparts express

 

surely ebc can provide you with some good red or green stuff pads?

 

ebc pads are shit,wouldnt put them on any car

 

mintex extreme

 

Got redstuff all round on mine, slower car granted, but they've been brilliant.

 

ferrado ds2500, excellent pads but pricy

 

ye i agree, ferrodos ftw

 

These are available in the correct format from Apec Braking (www.apecbraking.co.uk)

Part number PAD 1704, listed only for the Focus RS.

A mate has just fitted a set to his RS and he is very impressed! Can't remember the price but they were very reasonable

They also seem to show another set with "pin laminations" - PAD 1661

i wouldnt be relying on them to much
