... and pretty much everything was fine.
My rear brake pads were getting low though, not enough to make it to the next service. But after a quote of $304 to replace them I decided to wait a bit before I replace them. Firstly, the stock Ford ones generate far too much dust as you all know. So, any info on non Ford brake pads woule be great. What other brands have you guys used? Also, my rear tyres are getting low. So I have turned up heat for the hunt for 18" shoes. |

I have been thinking about EBC greenstuff pads, but have heard really mixed reports. Anyone with experience?

Just had my 45K service today too (plus got the cruise control installed).
They said pads will need doing next time and probably front rotors  Anyone recommend pads that aren't as tough on the rotors - I would rather replace a few pads than rotors. MK |

As for the brake pads I cant recommend any particular brand but if you arent sure just call a few brake specilist places and ask them what they would put on a Focus that is going to be driven like it should and not like a grandma and I am sure they will be able to point you in the right direction.

Heard good stuff about EBC greenstuff. Only reason I don't is the price I pay for Ford parts keeps me buying them... TOO hard to refuse
 I'm up for 60,000km in about 2 months.
