Best Brake pads for Ford Focus

I have a 2016 ST3, 114k miles, OEM brakes at 6mm or so, I mostly do highway.

I ran a set of EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series pads over EBC slotted and drilled rotor on my Ford Focus. Quality difference over OEM is huge. I'd never run OEM again.

I put hawk street 5.0 pads on mine a few months ago. They are good, def better than oem.

I'm extremely impressed with their Sport pads, when compared to their closest Hawk competitor, HPS. I ran Hawks for quite a while and they were ridiculously loud. The Sports give me similar bite, maybe a tad more, but no squeal whatsoever. These were on a Focus RS that I used for DD/autocross.

There are more choices now for aftermarket pads for the RS. The RS Brembo calipers use a distinct pad shape that isn't common. A lot of guys use Mountune, or EBC. Race Tech, the US Brembo Distributor, has TS20 (track/street) front and rear pads that have better performance and less dust that the stock pads.

Focus ST: Con -Using brakes to offset torque steer a bit lame. And contributes to crazy brake dust
