Why post such shite?
You can NEVER have too much braking power IMO.
How do you know he doesn't track it every weekend, and finds the standard brakes underpowered? As the RS setup is a good option on fiestas. I know if I could afford to, my ZS would get FRS brembos, and thats only a 1.6
Oh, and the FRS had, what, 212bhp standard? and the ST has 150bhp, so the difference in power isn't massive!

So, leave him alone and let him do what he wants to his car...

PS, only gold members can post wanted/for sales...

i agree with you about you can never have to much braking power. but as to the power between the FRS 212bhp and the ST 150bhp, difference in power isn't massive!
there is a big difference

good for you.
Maybe the power difference is alot, but, as I said, you can never be overbraked, so why question the guys motives...
Can we get this back on track, so the guy can get some brakes please
