Love these brakes! I generally go out to the shop to change our brakes, but I took a chance with these to keep my auto skill sharp. It took about an hour and half for set up and teardown for a 2013 Ford focus. So far it is as good as OEM Ford brakes. It's priced Right, build quality and hardware is as good as you can get, and better than top brand at the auto parts store. Bosch is a quality OEM, and I love everything from their tools to appliances... You will not be disappointed in their brake pads. They are quiet and brake well using stock Ford rotors.

Everything fit snugly, the box had all the hardware included (clips, grease), and the ease of install was perfect. Car was in the dealership for a separate issue, and was quoted almost $200 to change the brakes. Yeah, no, I'll gladly do it myself for a fraction of the cost.

I installed these on my Mazda 3 and they work great so far. They are progressive with good feel, but not too much bite, but still plenty of stopping power. Very smooth and quiet too. Though to be fair, the old pads and rotors were completely shot, so just about anything would have been an improvement. They were easy to install and everything fit just like OEM parts.

Pads seem to be of good quality. Only issue are retainer clips don’t hold tight with new calipers but happy calipers came with a separate set.

These worked great for me! Install on a Ford Focus was easy and they make ZERO noise. They also have great braking performance.

I am very happy with these pads. I've put about 6000 miles on them so far. I put these on a Mazda 3 S model that I drive enthusiastically. I initially felt that they didn't have quite the initial bite that the OEM pads had but their stopping power is comparable and they are definitely quieter than the OEM pads. What I really love about them is that they have much lower dust. I don't have to clean my alloy wheels nearly as much as before. It's also nice that the backing plate is built in so you don't have to mess with the anti-squeal compound. I'm going to start using these pads on all my cars just for the low dust alone (and cost less than OEM with comparable performance).9-28-23 update after 30k+ miles. Still love these pads and they are only about 1/2 worn (the factory pads only lasted 35k miles)!

I put these on the front of my 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback. They came as a complete front set with new retaining clips & a packet of grease. Nice that the shims are molded to the back of the pad. No coming loose or making noise. They are an exact fit. Both sides installed in less than an hour. I put these on with the old rotors as they were still in good shape (no grooves or scored). Quiet, with no noise whatsoever, & they stop on a dime. After the install, I recommend you "bed" the new pads. I tried to attach a link with how to do it, amazon won't allow it? I find that it helps to mate things up. Check out Autoanything online with an easy how to.

Such a great price for these brakes.And they last a long time's awesome
