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 ??

Regards

    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.
