Hey Guys,

I am looking to purchase some new (front) disks for my 2008 Focus 2.0 tDCI.

Looking at ECP there are options for 278mm and 300mm diameter disks, and I have no eye deer which ones I need, along with pads.

Im buying the parts and getting someone else to fit them.

Regards,

Chester

    I think it is the 300s as it is a 2.0, but not certain. Someone who knows for sure will be along soon.

    I can't understand how they use the same pads for both 278s and 300mm discs though...so not adding any more friction surface area. :blink:
