Just a thought/idea...I know the mk7 is rather a leap forward for Ford, but how similar are the brake setups compared to last model...

Im thinking are the ST rear disc setup and front brake setup switchable into the mk7??!! :rolleyes:

Just an idea ;)

    the zero sixty discs are roughly the same diameter as the oem ones. arent they?

    also, how much did you pay? (from pumaspeed i guess?)

    and finally, anything to replace the awful looking drums in the back? <_<

    I wouldn't have thought they be any bigger!!?? They wouldn't fit?!? :blink:

    yeah, i am more thinking of the old boring drums on the rear, and the fact that even just inside 16" wheels the fronts look small!!!....inside your 17"s that most ya'll got they must look tiny!!

    Just wondering coz I know the Fiesta ST brakes fitted loads of other models/age of festa....just a thought :)

    Oh, so did the ST170 focus brakes??!! or am I wrong there? :blink:

    Yes they are from pumaspeed they are the same size as om part. At the moment there isnt a direct replacement for the drums.

    your definetly not wrong mate,

    the st170 front and rear brakes can be fitted to any focus 98-01 without any hassle, dont even need to change the master cylinder IIRC.

    not sure on the size of the fiesta st brakes but ive recently just fitted a set of discs on my focus to replace the drums. they were off a 2.0l but im sure that they are the same size as the st.
