ST170's run the more conventional setup where the caliper bolts on to a mounting bracket (which is why you need to change the hubs if you upgrade a normal Focus to run the ST170 setup) but, for some reason, ST170 calipers carry a HUGE price premium over Mk3 Mondeo ones. You should be able to pick up a set of Mk3 Mondeo calipers for next to nothing in a scrappy and they are found on every Mk3 Mondeo so there won't be a shortage of them either!
it's the st tax, sort of like the cosworth tax you pay on anything that is reputed to come from a cosworth, be it a engine or an ashtray
