If your running 16's or bigger then fit Focus ST170 300mm discs, with mondeo calipers and pads (same caliper as ST but cheaper!), they work a treat and are a direct fit using a 12mm spacer available on ebay

totally agree, they stop my little motor well enough, but also make sure the servo is still doing its job properly too
