Tarox uprated disc and pad kit for the Ford Focus

The second generation of Ford’s capable Focus is a superb car. Benefitting from a sublime chassis, even the most basic of specs encourages ‘press-on’ driving, and if you’re the kind of owner that likes to indulge in such activity – or even if you just want to increase your margin of safety, Italian brake manufacturer Tarox has the perfect solution in their uprated disc and pad sets for all models. These kits offer a direct replacement to the OEM parts – but with significantly greater performance and much less tendency to fade.

Each disc undergoes a structural stress-relieving heat treatment at the end of each machining cycle which increases durability and massively reduces the risk of warping under repeated heavy braking.

All discs are CNC machine-faced to create an optimum braking surface, down to a tolerance of 0.015mm, not only resulting in unparalleled performance, but also a superb finish, to accentuate the overall look of the car.

Four styles are available. The OEM-esque ‘Zero’ with its factory good looks, the diagonally vented ‘G88’, the JDM inspired ‘Sport Japan’ and the classic, spirally grooved ‘F2000’.

The perfect discs need the perfect pads, and here Tarox have ticked all of the boxes, too. Corsa or Track pads range from mild to wild, allowing enthusiasts the ability to tailor their cars’ braking performance to suit their driving style and usage. Corsa offers the perfect compromise for cars that live dual lives on road and circuit, whilst ‘Track’ delivers race-winning performance in circuit environments where nothing else matters but ultimate performance.

Prices start from just £179.00+VAT for a pair of any of the disc designs and pads start from £89.00 + VAT. Nothing increases driver confidence like a set of decent brakes, so if you want to increase safety – or decrease lap times – and don’t want the expense of a full big brake kit, then these are the upgrade.
