Default ST170 Hubs in Focus 1.6

Anyone knows if the ST170 hubs fit straight in a Focus 1.6 petrol?

I got some FRS Brembos and i do need to change the knuckle because they're stronger and easier to mess with, when it comes to make the bracket for the Brembos.

My one and only problem was really with the spindle of the driveshaft (think it's the correct way to say it...) would fit the ST170 hub, because my box is an IB5 and don't know if it really as something to do with it.

Thanks for the replies. I think the brake cylinder has to be upgraded too, but not the servo....

Got it....but the question now is if the servo and master cylinder don't have to be changed?

They certainly don't when you do a standard ST170 brake conversion and I know people that have done the RS Brembo conversion without touching them either. In fact I think they might use the same parts across the range.
