I'm thinking of getting those same rotors if I stay with the factory brakes.

I have heard rumors that the EBC rotors are actually cast in jolly ol' England, vs. pretty much everything else which is a one piece factory replacement type rotor, HAVING TO come from mainland China nowadays, and not even Brazil anymore [:(], but who knows [dunno].

The rotors and pads all say product of UK on them so I would believe it. Plus lots of stickers, always a plus, lol.

The red one are for track? [emoji3166]
The yellow compound is more appropriate for track and the orange compound is designed for the track; according to Mountune, this is what they're currently using for their track pads after discontinuing the WinMax track pads. I ran yellows on my previous car and they were very good but extremely dusty -- the orange compound must be absolutely filthy :giggle:

Was brave...Bought Forscan....did the ABS module Bleed procedure. I will say right now...YOU CANNOT bleed each individual line like the YouTube guy showed as I think his FiST was an Older model in the UK and they had that program available for that year on Forscan. Took two times of Manual Bleeding after Completing the Module Bleed with forscan also. It was a Real Treat!

Decided to give this stuff a try. I didn’t have any shifting issues, I just wanted the 2 full liters Incase I was under filled. Pretty easy to do although I busted a knuckle on the lower control arm and spilled a bunch when the oil shot out the drain, lol.
We’ll see if I notice any difference when I drive it to work tomorrow

I didn’t think I would notice anything, but just pulling it out of the garage to clean up what I spilled I noticed it was really smooth. I didn’t think it was notchy to begin with but maybe it was. Tomorrow’s commute will be interesting
and a little update for anyone that's interested. Massive improvement in shifting feel. I didn't think mine was bad at all but the improvement was incredible. I highly recommend doing this using Ravenol or one of the other quality fluids available

FWIW I've also been happy with Ravenol. I'll keep using this fluid until someone convinces me differently.

Maybe one of yous can be a donor for my ass transplant. I have Ravenol in my tranny, but I didn’t really notice any appreciable difference in shifting from the OEM liquid. Same goes with the Powerflex engine mount inserts - have them on both sides, but not a whole lot of torque steer reduction — as some claim it completely removed the TS.

Maybe Ford sprinkled some fairy dust on my car when they made it, and it made it as good as it would ever be, bolt-ons or not...

My stock fluid was notchy...engagements weren't very smooth. RAVENOL worked great for me....and alot of others here.
