You forgot the bigger front brakes and wheels robbed from a MK5 Escort Ghia Si

Yeah, most MK6 RS2000s have drums on the rear. There are a few exceptions, but generally they have drums, but as Mr ScORTED says, you have four wheel ABS, and the rear disks don't offer any massive benefit outside the cosmetic improvement.

MK6 has a nicer interior and does ride/drive a bit nicer IMO, so it's a more rounded car, despite not having the looks of the MK5.

Can always fit Focus rear disks if it's bugging you that much
