huey45 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hi Guys When I bought my Focus above I assumed it had disc brakes all round but after preparing for all long trip I discovered it had drums on rear Once I arrived at journeys end I happened to park close to a 12 plate Focus Estate, shock horror it had disc brakes all round... I looked at online Focus Brochure and they don't describe brakes in detail, can disc brakes be retro fitted by aftermarket kits ? and if so what would be needed and prices ??

Preee Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I would imagine it would be possible to retro fit discs at the rear but would not be cheap , you tend to find disc's all round on the higher engine models , for instance , my 1.6 petrol ecoboost has disc's all round but i believe the 1.6 125bhp model has drums.

huey45 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hi preee thanks for that comment, although my 1.6tdci is 115bhp I was thinking with the diesel lump being heavier than petrol front brakes would get a caning with heavy stops, maybe im being over cautious ?
