you need

rear hubs
dust covers
caiplers
pads
discs

as for brake lines and handbrake cable i think you'll have to use the front lines from your car and a fiesta st cable but im not sure.

ill be swaping my drums to discs tomorrow so if you want i can take pictures and make a guide for you?

yep thats right but you can't use the handbrake cable thay will send as its going to be to long so you'll still need a fiesta st cable.

In any case, you can't use a drum hanbrake cable with disc brakes, so yes, I believe the ST cable is used.

Default seeking knowledge

Hi I have a mk6 fiesta and I want to convert the drums to disks. I was told I need the complete set up off an st150, but unfortunately I don't really know a lot about cars. Could someone please give me a full break down list of all the parts I would need.
