JW1982 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Why use mondeo MK3 brake calipers? In my opinion the original Focus MK2/MK2.5 ATE brake calipers are better than the Mondeo MK3 brake calipers. Mondeo brake calipers are known to be insufficient. Both the 278 mm and 300 mm front brake setup on the Focus MK2/MK2.5 use exactly the same brake calipers. The only differences between 278 mm front disk brakes and 300 mm front disc brakes are the caliper brackets and brake discs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymfocused Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I was told that the mk3 calipers would fit. I did look at get the different carriers and using my existing calipers but, couldn't find some at a reasonable price. I found the mondeo calipers for £30 on eBay last year.

wilto Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Ok I stand corrected, looking at the Mondeo MK3 front calipers they don't seem to have any clips at all, I can't remember what I fitted when I done my conversation. Below is an eBay image I was looking at. Where abouts are you from then? I'm in the Neath area, otherwise known as God's Garden 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally from Neath though, Cimla to be precise. So I don't need the shims then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilto Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ahh I know Cimla well, I'm living up the valley about 7 miles from Neath, I won't say where exactly but it begins with R. I'm now thinking the shims/springs are built into the pads, as you can see them sticking out in the above picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know if I'm honest, some people seem to think it's been lowered, but I'm not sure, haven't changed the suspension since I bought it. Some people on here recon it's the Eibach set up, not a clue tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
