Description
The standard brakes on the Focus Mk3 RS are pretty good however there is always room for improvement especially if you are looking to increase the power or visit the track. The brake pads is one of the first components that will need upgraded and this will give you the biggest performance increase for the money. Now the Endless brake pads might be more expensive than most others on the market, but they have a unmatched quality and life span on their products. Even though the price for a pads is higher, when you can drive on it twice as far you will end up with a lower cost in the end.
ME20 is a semi-metallic compound, developed for racing and rally however very effective on the road also. It is a step up initial bite and is more “straight-forward” with regards to brake power. Originally developed for BTCC Super Touring cars where you have high traction afforded by suspension setup and tire compounds. The pedal feel and brake power is excellent and equal across the speed range with an easy modulation in all instances. With ME20 it is possible to perform very hard and late braking into corners. As with the friction and bite the ME20 is a step up in heat resistance compared to the ME22 and it has shown a very good stable brake performance at high disc temperatures over 650 °C. The wear characteristics of both pads and discs are low, and for cold weather and wet conditions it retains the same excellent resistance to water fade.
