Question Thinking ahead, brake upgrade help.

Hello,


So tomorrow morning when i come home from work im going to pick the fiesta up

Been thinking of power and lowering it but brakes are also on the list. Dont forget whats power without control

Do i just need mondeo front brake calipers and carriers with st 170 300mm brakes? Are all mondeo calipers the same or are st ones different?

I know about the 12mm bolt that needs drilling and get braided hoses but standard will fit and be ok.

Also whats needed for the rear? Is that just st170 calipers and discs.

Cheers for your help!

what size wheels?
st170 discs and mondeo callipers can work well though.
if you've got 16"+ wheels you could consider FRS setup, only a simple bracket needed, 324mm discs

There 17" wheels, would the FRS cost a hell alot more? Even though 324mm does sound nice
