Time for Brake Pads

[DrivingEnthusiast]

The time has come... and I want something better than the stock pads.
A little more aggressive in feel. The problem is that nobody that I have found lists any.
This is a C2 platform... you'd think the Bronco Sport people would have some.. .or the C2 Focus owners in Europe.
Anybody out there found any themselves?

I went with Powerstop Z23 Evolution sport pads (front/rear). No problems so far and braking improved a bit.

p.s. Don't forget to enable brake maintenance mode before changing pads

Brake Maint Mode? Thanks for reminding me, I found out how to do that.
Those pads look great - thanks!

What is Brake Maint Mode? You mean for the rear electronic parking brake?

Yes, see the following https://www.licorsair.com/lincoln_c...ce_mode_activation_and_deactivation-2214.html

I used power stop drilled and slotted rotors and the carbon fiber pads on my MKZ and they were amazing. Rotors don’t rust either they are treated. Made in USA also

Here's what I want to do in the longer term: since the Euro Focus ST is built on this chassis and has much larger rotors including even a Brembo option, this should be a bolt-on. Custom brake lines will be required and those are easy to have made.
I need a dealer in Britain that will ship parts internationally. I had one (they provided me with the European center console parts for my Focus RS) but they stopped shipping internationally. And, Ford of Europe doesn't provide the nice illustrated parts listings as does Ford here.

BIG change here - these Focus ST calipers from the C2 chassis in Europe are not standard on the Maverick Lobo (sport model) - which being a C2 platform might mean that they and their bigger rotors would be a bolt-on. Open question about brake hose - since the Corsair rides higher, but if the thread is the same then these woud be just be reused.
So needed:
- caliper
- caliper mount bracket
- rotor
- pads
