Focus RS Braking Upgrades

Thorney Motorsport Ford Focus RS Braking Upgrades
The FOCUS RS is a very capable car, you can drive it off the forecourt straight to your local circuit and it will lap it up. We spent a day with the guys at Redline at Llandow when our RS was standard, and true to our word everything lasted.
The first area of improvement though, is Braking. Whilst braking confidence is high, the speed decrease isn't as rapid as we'd hoped. We will be offering a range of braking upgrades for the MK2 RS, starting with Pad, Fluid and Hose upgrades and finishing with Track and Competition brake kits from Brembo, Alcon and AP Racing.
