Recommendations for Ford brake parts
Our Fiesta Mk6.5 needs some brake work. I'm thinking of a complete kit with front discs, pads plus rear drums & shoes. There are such kits on the bay but looking for esteemed members opinions on the brands to go for with the blue oval. There is at least one kit with the wheel bearings already pressed into the rear drums which is a feature of these cars & would be a consideration for me if l'm doing the job myself.
Any opinions appreciated.

My son had a Ford Focus and found that service items such as discs and pads weren't worth doing himself as the fitted cost from Ford was often only ten or twenty quid more than the cost of good quality parts!
https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/service...repairs/brakes With full sets of brake discs and pads for less than £100 that may no longer be the case!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIES...gAAOSwUHRca-N7 Oops rears should be drums??? You'll get the idea though!

Thanks. Yes, it seems unlikely that a Ford agent will be doing the job anywhere near that price. Pagid seems to be a popular choice over on the Ford forums. The kit on the bay with the fitted rear bearings hasn't got a brand mentioned which doesn't inspire confidence.

I've ordered Pagid parts from carparts4less. £77 for discs, pads & rear shoes. I've held back on drums as the ABS items are pretty expensive & l doubt that the originals are past it.
I doubt the kits for a bit over £100 are much good or include the ABS drums anyway as they're around £100 each.
