Best Brake pads for Ford Fiesta

2016 fiesta st. Duralast Gold (DG886) PADS

I am stock turbo FBO (engine wise) FiST, switched from Powerstop Trac Day Spec to Hawk DTC-60 with good results.

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 tried EBC on one SVT Focus and my first Fiesta ST. Yellowstuff on both.

They're marginally better than the OE ST pads, aside from dust production. They do not bite as hard as Hawk 5.0s or Stoptech Sports (which are my go-tos now; $76 for fronts from Tirerack). They do not stand up to actual track day driving (no one I know who does track stuff uses EBC). They're okay for autocross.

I've been using my SR11s for nearly a year now for few trackdays and some street events. I'm getting tired of SR11s downhill usage more and more since it won't hold and lose brakes so I have to be really careful. Also it seems a bit inconsistent for daily usage/semi-fast touge style drives. Some days it's the best thing ever but somedays it feels like the brake pad is dead.

Replaced the rotors and went with EBC yellow stuff pads. They don't look quite that bad, but 2 years later they're hardly looking like clean swept rotor surfaces.

Fiesta ST brakes are terrible. Just replace the discs and pads....again....

Yung experience ko, kahit hindi madiin ang tapak sa brake, napapa move forward yung mga pasahero.

I also have some EBC braided lines and yellow stuff on my ST. But I think I didn't really brake them in before using them very hard. Needed to brake from around 200kph for a corner on the Nurburgring and fried them. The bite it used to have is gone now, I think I overcooked them
