I've just bought a set for mine. You can, just need a set off brackets for them to fit a 4x4 hub. I know there is someone who sells a kit to fit a 2wd hub, but reyland do a bracket to fit.

would it be possible to machine out the center and make a 2 piece disc/rotor out of a focus rs brake disc ? or will this weaken the disc or something ?

I bought 2 of these a while ago havent got round to fitting them yet. You got any progress yet mate?
I was looking to get second hand bells and rotors for a 4x4 and making brackets for them.
The only thing I was worried about is the clearance between the outer face of the caliper and the inside of the wheel. I'm running 8x17 hockenhiems at the mo.

I've got some 8x17 hocks, should be fine. what offset are they? I'll probably get some bells made up, as the discs i got with them are worn anyways. It's still cheaper than buying some ap's!

You can use the calipers (I did) but you will need some bells and rotors to suit along with some brackets
