What size alloys are you running??

You can get a 4pot caliper with 285mm disc under most 15s, think 300mm under most 16s, possibly 355mm under 17s (not 100% sure here), wouldn't want to run a larger wheel than that on a fiesta, as for rear discs, think 2.0 focus stuff fits.

Mk2 servo will fit straight on if non abs model.If its the abs model you will have to adjust the brake lines to suit.Mk3 mondeo calipers and st170 300mm discs job done.Fit braided lines if you want for a firmer brake pedal and if you want to go mad use blue brake fluid but its expensive

I assume you've factored in the work chopping about to fit an mtx?

The 300mm set up is very good, some people don't like taking a grinder to the caliper but it's fine. Go up to 16's and you can go with something like 406/Fiat Coupe Brembos.

same fitment as a se fiesta.
yeah its simple to drill a hole and just bolt the new gear shifter in place.
Just fit the fiesta upper mount on the top of the focus is and it will bolt straight in, as for the torque link I'm not 100% as I ddidn't help my mate modded his but I know it wasn't a direct fit, and he used an aftaftermarket vibe one iirc he either bent the vide bar to the right angle or replaced the bar but it's really not hard to customise a vibe torque link as it's just a metal bar with two bushes welded at each end.

IB5 would poo itself.

MTX is the best way, it's worth the hassle.
