On my focus I've tried the OEMs, Mintex A/F, and Morse Ceramics. Out of all three, the Morse pads are by FAR the longest lasting. Braking feel is on par with OEM, with a little less initial bite then the Mintex pads. The Morse pads had a VERY long break in period...I do remember being extremely disappointed for the first couple hundred miles, as they lacked any kind of bite (or pedal feel) during the break in period. But once they were broken in, I was pleased with them...and let me tell you, they are definately LOW dust pads. Stock pads had my wheels black in no time...Mintex pads were even worse.
The Morse pads are harder on rotors then the Mintex pads were, however Focus rotors are very thin to begin with and are definitely replacement items every brake job (they are inexpensive). That said, the morse pads have been on these rotors for probably 60k miles...and these rotors were first paired with the mintex pads for 25k or so (stock pads and rotors were replaced at 14k...ya, that bad). I'll be replacing the pads and rotors probobly in another 15k or so, but it will have to be something else as the Morse pads are no longer stocked by Autozone. Pity, as this set only cost me $20 to start with (closeout prices). Best $20 set of brake pads I have ever seen or used.
