Default ST170 mk3 Mondeo front calliper differances.

I’ve read the mk3 Mondeo front calipers can be used as a 300mm upgrade on a Sierra with the St170 discs.

But can the ST170 calipers be used ? I have all four corners that I keep tripping over.

Cheers

as long as you can run 16" wheels it won't matter
the focus ones are supposed to be slimmer so that you can fit them under certain 15" wheels but the main issue is going to be the offset on the "ears" and the requirement to fit a spacer between them
the st170 has a top hat of 44mm from memory

I had mk3 mondeo calipers and ST170 front discs under my Ford pumas 15inch wheels. I had to trim the calipers a bit. I had them on the car for over a year with no problems.

Thanks, it dawned on me after posting that was what you meant.
