Default ST170 brake setup in rear?

Has the ST170 rear calipers got the same mountings as rear Cosworth ones? I'm thinking about doing a ST170 conversion both in front and rear.

Front conversion will be fine, need to drill out the 2 holes on each side, from 10mm to 12mm to take the caliper bolts...

need washers/spacers too on the front about 14-15mm thick, if i remember correctly...

no one, has done a ST170 rear brake conversion yet, not sure at all about this tbh!

people have done normal focus rear disc conversion though! do you have the rear conversion plates to mount the caliper on to ?

That's why I need to know if the mountings are the same, because if they are I can use brackets from the Cosworth conversion!
