Im in the process of doing this on my series 2, im using 2wd callipers, black diamond 2wd discs and green stuff pads. With the 2wd calipers you have to grind 4mm of the inside if each lug, then drill out the mounting on the hub to 12 or 14mm. There used to be page on here about it not sure if its still about.

correctamundo

2wd disks won't go on the fiesta, the offset is to high, they won't clear the track rod end.
