So, I went to the website, created an account, clicked on "News and Blog", clicked on "Customer Reviews" and after reading some of the reviews decided to leave my own. However, I couldn't find the option to write a review anywhere. What am I missing?

I know its probably obvious, and I'm just overlooking it, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you very much Tim! I'll try to add some review instructions to the blog. You have to leave them on the page for the product you actually purchased. If you have our Sprint Kit, that would be here:
http://www.essexparts.com/essex-desi...0299brzfrsgt86

Below is how to write the review. Please make sure to include the pics and wheel fitment info as described earlier in this thread:

I'm a track novice so not sure how much of a review I can give as my first track day will be June 5 at Buttonwillow. I've taken this to a high speed autox and even so, I'm still a novice there.

Jeff,

I have 32 track days on the schedule for 2016. I've got 8 days on the kit so far and I think the pads are getting bigger. I should have 30 days on the kit by year end. I'm running Pirelli DH slicks on the car and the confidence the tires and brakes inspire make you think you can fix stupid AND crazy. I average ~2.5 1/2 hour sessions per track day since I do a lot of riding. That includes random wear from warmup sessions. Road Atlanta, NCM, Watkins Glen, and Sebring will happen again by the end of July. I measured the pads before I put them in. At that point (end of July) I guess I'll take them out again and see how they are doing per my measurement calipers, just because. Something to note - I'm running the smooth rotors, not the J-hooks.

I mentioned to you that I liked the PFC97 endurance pads from my Panoz GTRA. Those pads are magic. They do everything you want them to do, the same way, for a LONG time. Based on that, you recommended the Ferrodo DS1.11 pads, and they seem to be working out very well. Notwithstanding their durability, their torque range scale seemed to show that they are very consistent, and that's what I've experienced.

Anyone reading this who does track days needs to know these brakes are the real deal. I wonder how many of your customers ordered the brakes with "street" pads? When I have more actual data, I'll put it up on your site.

Suffice to say, my experience mirrors what Scott at Chin Motorsports has found. It's so nice to find a company that's offering a product that is just obviously better. When you're serious and looking for THE solution / quality, the money isn't the issue, it's finding someone who will give it to you.

Thanks.

What you really need to do is get over to the Focus RS forum

And my f$cking car still isn't built but some customers are receiving them in the US finally.

I added my review for the Endurance BBK

@JRitt, I noticed that 2 of my pictures look upside down on the site.
