Any kind of brake test you can imagine. And some you can't. LOL! I can only give so much info. SorrySweet! So you test for Ford? What tests are y'all running? How's fade? Any specs in Calipers and pads? We need info! Lol![]()
Yes, everyone should remember that having huge brakes with 18 pistons is not the end all be all when it comes to stopping distance. You need to start with good tires.My titanium has tiny brakes, but with tires on the handling pack (pilot sport 3's) car stops on a dime. Can't wait to see what ST can do !
Green - that's really good to hear considering that my 2002 Focus SVT is almost 500 lbs. lighter than the ST!I will let you know when that test is run. So far it has met or exceeded SVT specs...
And before anyone freaks out, the E46 M3, among others, comes with single piston front brakes.If this picture on our site is of a production ST then they will have single piston front brakes.

I'm not sure about ricey, but I agree that they are getting kinda passé, especially on non-exotic iron.Nope, just plain silver. I don't mind one bit, though... To me, red calipers look ricey.
According to some.... All seasons are just as good. lolCalipers appear to be 2 piston in all the photos I've seen. Only difference in ST over regular foci is the 12.6 inch front rotors. My titanium has tiny brakes, but with tires on the handling pack (pilot sport 3's) car stops on a dime. Can't wait to see what ST can do !

The car will come with summers, which should help in magazine comparisons and all that.
Meh. I installed them on both my old WRX and my MR2, and didn't feel like there was much difference at all, versus a well-bled stock system. (well bled being the key part)You really want to make the brakes feel dandy?
