I just went full ceramic all around and so far kinda regretting it. Sure it's nice to not have disgusting wheels constantly (the dust also gets on the paint..) but man I miss the bite of the stock pads.
Currently looking for other options. Ugh.
Yea ceramics just aren't any good if you care about anything beside low dust and 100k mile pad life. Just like a full turbo upgrade, I think a whole bbk is a required upgrade on these cars. The wilwood is great bang for the buck too. After 2 or 3 sets of quality rotors, you could have just bought the wilwood kit. It's cheap to maintain, easy to get parts. I pay $85 for replacement front wilwood rotor rings. I mean for a front pair. The weight loss on the hubs make the car drive noticeably better. Front suspension works better. The rigid caliper feel amazing. Pads are cheap. Racey pads are really cheap compared to similar pad for stock calipers.
I personally don't like the whoosh kit for similar money. Replacment parts arent available anywhere. They are much more expensive. Wilwood gives about 15 replacement rotor options for fiesta kit. Whoosh has like 2 I think. Some people don't like the lug mounting on the wilwood, but I'll take that with a fully bridged, internal crossover caliper over the whoosh open top calipers anyday. Not bridging the top makes the caliper less rigid. Kinda defeats a lot of the point of radial mounting when the caliper itself is a less rigid design.
Also we tcp makes a radial mounted wilwood based kit for the fiesta for similar money to the stock wilwood kit. If you really buy into radial mounting.
