Default Looking to upgrade my breaking on my focus

Im looking at either the focus rs/fiat 20v caliper or some EVO 7,8 etc caliper mated with FRS discs. This will be fitted onto st170 hubs. Anyone got any advice on which they would go for? The evo calipers being bigger?

Fitted under 17's if possible but 18 are available

thanks

just uprate the discs and pads, unless running power that demands a brake upgrade as OE ST170 brakes with good quality discs and pads are good for 200hp

unless your making big BHP then no need to bring bigger breaks, just upgrade you're standard size discs and pads




Cheers,
