Nice work Chris!

Are the FRP rear pads different to the common Focus ones?

How do you find the ST clutch?

They are Focus pads, but there are at least a couple of different part numbers... these are the expensive ones that were the original fit from Tickfords... Retailing at £80 incl the Vat now from fords part counter...getting very pricey :blink:

Iv'e had them on my car for a few weeks now and they do feel noticably crisper :cool:

ST-- Slightly soft on the pedal but takes whatever you throw at it.. :good:

Wow Chris I see what you meant, I didn't really get a good look underneath, but Ben at the Dealer's was very impressed and confident with 0215 when we tested her out!Posted Image
