I am pretty sure you can but you need to get the brackets from zoo motorsport, they will not fit with just the washers

I always thought that 4 pots were the 2wd callipers and not 4wd and that 2wd would not fit a fiesta but an escort

True the only reason well the reason why ppl put the cossy (saph or escort) 4x4 discs and calipers on is because they bang straight on were as the 2wd brakes have a different offset so they wont fit onto a FIesta Turbo.

The 4x4 calipers are single pot where as the 2wd ones are 4 pots. I dont know of anyone who as managed to fit the 2wd discs or calipers but you can find out but it will take a lot of messing around to get them on that if they can be.

I'm pretty sure that Zoo does a bracket that allows you to fit 2wd callipers to a fiesta. Also not sure if you can then use 2wd disk or 4wd disk with them. Best to give Brom @ zoo a call.

i was the guy in the process of fitting 4pots to my fez. funds have not alloweed me to get it finished but the offset is not a problem.

you need to get some m12 bolts and tap the holes in the hubs. you will also need some brake lines with a banjo end from r&b motorsport. once you have all these they fit on with some washers.
