I have had st170 on mine for a few years, standard servo is fine and standard brake pipes with braided hoses works perfect

Just use your std servo. Try to find the fitting kit from ebay. I bought mine for 13-14q and there are the spacers and the new bolts. You don't need to change your brake lines if they are in good working order. The only think you have to do is to drill the hub because the new bolts are M12 and the std M10... Is very very easy mod, don't worry!

No tap, just drill, the threads are in the calipers not the hub

glad to hear original servo is up to job but i've read the upgrade to a mk2 mondeo servo is very worthwhile, anyone tried it?
