Default Mk4 brakes are shite!

Can anyone recommend a straight swap for some better brakes for my mk4 fiesta? They're solid discs so fade like mad. Maybe another model of Ford with bigger calipers and vented discs which will fit straight onto the fiesta hubs?

​TIA

Assuming they are the same as mk5 fiesta brakes, which is quite possible. Mk6 fiesta st150 brakes are a straight swap with no mucking about.

Thanks for that.

​​​​​I read somewhere about focus St170 brakes going straight on too? Is that true?

St170 discs and Mk3 Mondeo calipers can be made to fit I believe.

st170 discs and calipers fit, the only thing thats needed is to widen the mounting holes from 10mm to 12mm thats it, apart from that as long as your wheels are big enough to fit over them or st150 brakes will be your only option
