Bought FOCUS RS BREMBO,S for mine.You will needs the discs and specialy made brackets aswell.Also the minimimum wheel size using these is 17 inch.








Not cheap though.Your looking at about £600 for the lot(secondhand).


Try E-BAY FOR THE CALIPERS & DISCS.about £450

ZOO MOTORSPORT for the adapter brackets.£85

UPRATED BRAKE LINES & BRAKE FLUID.£100.

No they are different.FIAT are radial mounted and FOCUS RS BREMBO,S are side mounted,but you can get brackets to mount both of these.
