These also allow you to stick with a 16" rim that doesn't balls the way the car drives as much.
both the focus st and fiesta st front brake caiplers are the same just with smaller caipler holders and smaller discs and the fiesta st ones are fuking pointless!!!! thay cost more than the focus ones for some silly reason and the only people that buy them anit got a clue what there doing since thay buy them just because thay dont want to fit anything bigger than 15" rims well gusse what the focus st170 300mm setup will fit behide 99% of aftermaket rims and on std rims it takes 5 mins with a grinder to make them fit as its only 5mm there out in two places to say fit under fiesta zs alloys.
and heres a focus st170 hub caipler and disc inside a 15" rim that hasnt been touched by any grinder....
and the room which is 2mm on the bleeding niple with a blancing weight there...
omg please go away bigger wheels dont make the car handle worse!! all bigger wheels will affect is the gearing and power for handling if you fit say going from a 15" 6j wheel to a 18" 8j wheel the car will handle better as you will have more tyre in contact with the road meaning giving you more GRIP!!
