Mk4 Fiesta rear disc conversion
I want to do a rear disk conversion on my mk4 Fiesta, but am not sure which direction to go. At present I am using the larger disks and brakes from the Ford focus in the Front, and have not found any conversions for the rear.
I am looking at these out of the US

It is easier for me to get parts out of he US than the UK as I am based in Trinidad, howwever I am not sure if these will work.
Any suggestions?

Anybody for a brew?
Use focus set up on the rear with either Racing puma handbrake cable or st150. If you use focus cable you need to swap handbrake mechanisum for the focus one or it'll pull up about 10clicks with the fiesta mechnisum.
I used to 250mm focus 2.0litre discs, calipers, and stub axles, with Racing Puma cable (909 part number) when i put them on my old mk5 ZS.
Didnt need to use a bias valve had the rear hubs machined to accepts fiesta ABS rings so i could retain the ABS.
EDIT~: or if you can find one a Full FRP rear beam bolts straight on.

The car is being built as a rally car here in the Caribbean, unfourtuneately getting Ford parts locally is a pain, howevewr I can get the parts easiest from the US. The car has a 2.0 Duratec lump out of the 2005 Focus in the US as well as front hubs and brakes.
So far my only option seems to be the SVT kit out of the US, but I am not sure how it will fit on the Fiesta.
