Default Looking for new calipers

I'm not having any luck finding brake upgrades for the mondeo system I have installed on my fiesta. My calipers are old and rather than get reconditioned calipers I'm looking around for different versions (ie possibly brembo etc) that I can fit as if it was a mondeo.

Anyone got ideas where to look?

Which Mondeo brakes did you fit?

The standard ones are 278mm but an easy upgrade is to the MK3 ST220 calipers and then use Focus ST170 discs as these are all 300mm.

Or the ST220 guys are upgrading to the Focus ST225 brakes and discs as these are 330mm but are 5 stud so you may strguggle with this.

Oh I'm not looking for a size increase, just replacing the 278mm calipers either with something new or a different manufacturer.

They're off the ST24 MK1 and are a definite improvement over the fiesta bottle cap brakes! I inspected them a couple of weeks ago and they have suffered over time in storage with a previous owner and I can tell performance in braking isn't what it should be so thinking of nice power upgrades.

If you go for the 300mm disc you can just about squeeze them under 15's

St170 discs and mk3 mondeo calipers if your using then under 15's you will have to gring the calipers to get them to fit. You could also try big g on the fiesta zetec s forum he does them on there ready ground to fit under 15's
