Ford parts reviews

HPS 5.0 pads. Little less initial bite than the original pads but more overall grab.

I'm running the powerstop Z23 rotors and brake pad kit. Did it early spring last year. Very happy. I hated the initial bite of the stock pads, God forbid I hit a bump while braking. Pricey but happy with the look + performance. Im in the Midwest.

I was pretty unhappy with the short life span/brake dust of the stock rotors/pads, so when it was time to change them I went with: Centric Cryo-Treated rotors, Hawk HP Street 5.0 pads. I got what I was looking for in terms of improvements to longevity and brake dust, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the bite of the stock setup.

Centric high-carbon rotors and Hawk HP Street 5.0s. Less initial bite than the OEM pads, but more stopping force with higher pedal pressures and much less dust.

Ebc Red Stuff. They are a little milder than Yellow but still high performance. I can get a 20 min track session with limited fade. Although once I forgot to turn stability control off and they faded very badly after about 10 min. Less dusty than stock setup.

I've had experience with both and while both are absolutely fantastic the Michelin tires felt like they warmed up a few minutes faster and handled the rain a bit better.

I will say that I've had a really good experience with the pirelli pzeros that I have on mine, they're super grippy.

I've run them on basically everything I've owned for the past 15 years. People hate them because they claim the oil fouls the MAF and that they let in more junk. I've never had a MAF fail and I've had two F-150s go over 200,000 miles on them with their original motors. My current F-150 has 239,000 and counting, no problems with it. Why buy them? I do it because they're re-usable. I think the K&N for my current F-150 was $45 when I got it, and the Motorcraft filters are $10-12. So over time it will save money, kind of, if you don't mind the work. Would I do it again? Nah. I'm done with them because it *is* kind of a pain in the butt to clean and oil them all the time. On two vehicles they added a bit of pleasing intake noise but again, eh. No big deal. I wouldn't waste the money. Just get the manufacturer filter and swap it out every year.

I hate that my 2016 Focus needs to go to the dealership for recoding just to replace the damn headlights.

I ran them on my mustang. They were dirty and occasionally loud. They also didn't last for shit as I believe they are really formulated for lighter cars.
