Something to note that not alot of people do. mondeos, escort turbos,cosworths etc have larger bore pistons on the calipers which when fitted to standard escorts causes longer pedal travel (I first noticed this when putting cossy brakes on a 1.1 fez, it was shocking!!!). to compensate this you will require a larger master cylinder, any mondeo one should be fine as they all run the same caliper bore.

If you want bigger brakes still, calipers from a st170 focus or mk3 mondeo with discs from st170 are good, 300mm!! (mondeo calipers are easier and cheaper to get hold of)
