Longtime lurker, first-time poster. Please be constructive, since I'm already aware I'm an idiot: The rear brakes are kicking my ass. I read up on threads, watched videos, and have still managed to run into problems I've not seen documented anywhere. I first set out to replace both pads and...

So, here at EBC Brakes We like to offer a free set of pads each month to a randomly selected forum member. In past giveaways We have discussed our first cars, garage and storage spaces, famous people we have met or would like to have met and weird and wonderful vehicles amongst other topics...

Top bolts on both sides came off fine. Bottom bolts on both sides stripped. Super pissed off. No idea what to do now. Any ideas?

I'm checking if anyone has experience with running CEIKA Custom Big Brake Kits on the Track. I have been researching for a week now trying to determine what option to go with. CEIKA has many options from 4POT to 8POT calipers, both front and rear. I have been communicating back and forth with...

Hey all, First post here. After switching my winter tires out I decided to replace my brakes on my 2018 FoST. The OEM were already rusty even though they only have 13k miles on them, so I wanted to replace them with coated rotors as well as ceramic pads to cut down on the dust as well. Long...

I was told that the Ford Escape uses the same brake calipers as the Focus ST. Can anyone confirm this? I am searching for a complete set of calipers to strip, powdercoat and use on my 2014 Focus ST and hoped I could broaden my search. Part numbers would be MOST helpful. Thank you in advance.

So yesterday I changed my rear rotors and pads. I used a C clamp to depress the pistons in the calipers before putting them back in because I was not aware that they screw in and you need a special tool. I used a lot of force when using the C clamp and i'm worried I messed up the caliper...

Anyone know of any aftermarket brake pads available yet for the Focus ST?
