Hi all,

I've just bought a 1.8 mk1 focus zetec on a Y plate

I used to own an escort GTi and had the 300mm front brake set up on it consisting of ST170 disks and mondeo V6 calipers

i was just wodnering will the mondeo V6 calieprs fit my focus?

Are there any adaptor plates to be made?

Do the hubs need drilling out more like they need to be on an escort?

What hoses do i use? Or will they need to be custom made i.e. goodridge braided?

Is ABS a problem?

Also i have a set of 16inch mondeo alloys woth 205/45/R16 tyres on them, will they be ok to fit onto the focus?

Plus, my mate is selling his -50mm lowering springs, will they be ok on this car with those size alloys?

Thanks for any advice given

I look forward to hearing from peeps as i can't wait to get my focus modified :)

Seb :D
