    Is FHP really the deciding factor when buying a 575?

    For me, it was a dealbreaker. Each to their own of course.

    I think it's quite an important factor for the market in general, certainly makes them easier to market, I understand.

    From what I understand from this forum, less important for later cars. But having driven quite a few 575s, I wouldn't buy one without FHP. Unless it had HGTC.

    Darius- Seems to be a bigger deal in the UK than in the US. US dealers actually discouraged owners from ordering FHP because of the squealing brakes. Mine hardly ever squealed, though, and only the front brakes on those rare occasions. Many dealers swapped out the FHP pads for regular pads almost from the first week the car was driven. At one point I had a couple of those take-off sets, but sold them after I put Mov'It ceramics on mine.
