Brake pads OEM FORD or DIXCEL

Dixcel m pads good stopping and ultra low dust.

changed my OG set at 120k currently just under 140k.

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

Stock calipers with Dixcel SD slotted rotors and Dixcel ES pads.

Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.

Dixcel ES pads are a “fast street” pad with low noise and dust that out perform oem pads and can be used for light track application also with effective heat range of 0-600 degrees Celsius. I think they’re the best “bang for buck” pad you can get.

The oldest I've used as a daily is my '55 Ford. Could stand to get some brakes on it, but otherwise it was fine.

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

The more I drive it the more and more the brakes squeak horribly. The brakes look fine and it stops on a dime, but man the squeaking is so loud and embarrassing. The car is just so new at only 5,000 miles to already have issues really disappointed me. Especially on how expensive they are and already has issues.

I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
