Default Ka brake upgrade

Hi all,

I'm looking around for available brake upgrades for the project Ka. Ideally I wanted to put Focus 1.8/2.0 brakes on the front because I have some Ferodo DS2500 pads which have hardly been used, and they provided very good friction on a car that weighs around 400kg more

I have heard however that I'll need the carrier to make it fit which is part of the hub? I have heard also that ST170 brakes are a straight swap but I wont get 300mm discs behind 14" wheels. I guess the other option is Mondeo brakes but as said, I'd rather use the pads I have sitting around.

Thanks!
