FRS front discs with brackets, around £100 the lot, for 300mm, you don't need this much on the rear but up to you.

do you mean put focus rs front discs on the rear??
surely with being vented you will need the brembos too?
i had the conversion on the front of my car think discs were like 324mm with no bells

Yes you would have to use different calipers.
FRS discs can be had for around £50, each, never looked into it much.

but frs discs are 325mm and vented and he's going to have solids on the rears
nuts gets another mention if you don't want to go through rainbird for the hi spec stuff

Doh 2WD so edited the link to the ad in the traders section
Switch over to vented 4x4 calipers and all the kit is only £278
ATM no unvented upgrade version is available from me so try Mike R as suggested
