Big brake conversion
I'm looking at uprating my front brakes, I've been looking at doing the 300mm conversion using the Mk3 Mondeo front calipers with the focus st170 disks. I was just wondering if any of you had already done this and what it is like if so?

Been running this for a couple of years now and it's a big improvement, a MC and servo from a MK3 Mondeo will sharpen them up even more.

I'll try and find out but if you already have the mondeo one, it won't be worth the effort upgrading to the ka one.
