There was a similar thread a little over a year ago, but it was too early then to really answer the question.
After 5 years of seeing Focus brakes go "off" early, Ford finally put larger front rotors on the 2005 models ... ostensibly to "enhance" braking, but really it was to reduce customer dissatisfaction and warranty costs.
So now that we've got a few members driving the new model, perhaps its time to re-ask these two questions:
1) how are they holding up ... any better than prior years?
2) How difficult / easy would it be to "upgrade" a prior model with '05 front rotors?
