Default focus brake set-up

who has done this i may be looking at the 330mm discs and the brembos.

can you make the standard discs fit or do you have to get bells and rotors made up then have brackets made for the calipers?

cheers

so from what i read on that the discs fit straight on and all you need is a bracket making up for the caliper?

was going to do this a long time ago but never got round to it

Discs bolt straight up, brackets available from Zoo motorsport ( their doing a new batch for Central Day)

Main problem is rims clearing the callipers, i've had to switch from my favourite RS rims, 17"softspokes to 17" Comp MO' to get 'em on

Have fitted FOCUS RS BREMBO,S to mine.As FOGARTY said ,the only problem is fitting wheels over them.The only wheel i know of that fits are COMPOMOTIVES.You will need :

1.FOCUS RS DISCS &PADS
2.FOCUS RS CALIPERS
3.LONGER FLEXY HOSES
4.ADAPTER BRACKETS (ZOO MOTORSAPORT) Ł60

Here,s some pics of them fitted on mine.The calipers come silver so i painted mine red.









As you can see from these 2 pics my old 17,s fiited on but as soon as you spin the wheel it catches on the spokes.







COMPOMOTIVES ONLY i,m affraid.
