InstructorPiggy Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 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??!! Just an idea ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle_gr Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have fitted the zero sixty discs and and 1144 pads to mine. vast improvement on standard brakes. 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? <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't fit?!? 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?

At the moment there isnt a direct replacement for the drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
