Default MK1 focus RS brakes on a ST170

hi all
i have a focus RS mk1 as a road car and a MK1 focus St170 track car
i am putting a AP racing front brake conversion on my RS
and was thinking of putting the brembos on my ST170
does anyone know if they will go straight on and if the standard ST170 wheel will go over the callipers
thanks

The brembos will go on the st170 hubs but you will need a bracket kit to do it. You can get them on ebay, you'll also need the focus rs brake line as the st170 lines are different. So to do it you'll need,

-Brembo calipers
-rs brake pads
-rs discs
-rs brake lines (HEll brake lines are decent)
-bracket kit like this

No they look similar but the hole spacing on the rs hubs are wider so don't line up properly which is why you'd need the brackets, and I'm not sure about the st170 wheels fitting over the calipers but I think they will. 18" defo will though,
