ErnieChicken Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I currently have a ford fiesta LX 1.3 2003 plate, I am looking to replace the front brakes which are drums and i would like to replace them with disc brakes preferably vented. What's the best way to go about it?, if you have any suggestions to kits or brakes that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Front should be disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnieChicken Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 They seem to be drum all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 :S fronts are usualy discs and rear drums http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/product-REAR-DISC-CONVERSION-255mm---non-abs_202.jsp Theres a conversion kit but you'd have to ask of its financially worth it realy?

Mark M.K Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 You 100% sure the front's are drum? Car makers have not used that on the front for many many years. I'd understand if you said the back, but the front is unheard of since the 70's & 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Indeed, no 2003 car could have front drum brakes, this would not meet the brake requirements. my old 1995 polo had front disc and that was terrible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
