I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Its hard to get upgraded brakes here in OZ and some of the ozzy fords have brembos fitted so it would be easier to get and fit some of them, does anybody have the part numbers or measurments of the FRS brembos and discs. My son has a 1989 XR3I and i have a big T escos.

No part numbers sorry, but i can try & find out for you
disc size is 323mm from a Focus RS
Plenty of off the shelf conversions available for the Escos, but your sons car could use the same set up as mine. the calipers, pds, discs etc.. can all be found on Bgay if you are interested in the conversion

335mm x 28mm two piece rotor and bell
The caliper is nearly as big as the huge 13.2" rotor to give you idea's of size

I have had to keep the badges off the calipers for the photos but they can come with Brembo, Porsche, Ferrari etc as per the O/E caliper
Also available in the new Porsche yellow, but we have a 6 week back order on the Carbon look ones.
Nicked Mr S1's pic of the Porsche Yellow caliper for guidance

i see the pics of your set up tony is behind a set of comps does that mean they'll only fit behind them or will they go behind more standard wheels too like my diamond cuts, p.s awsome piece of kit

I knew that would be the first question because I posted that picture lol. Its hard for us to stock every single wheel type and offset just for pictures. Drop me a wheel off and I can check for you as that's safer than guessing what the clearence of your wheel is like.

all these brakes are great, but what i cant help thinking is why dont you downgrade to smaller size wheel as that gives you the same increase in braking power and saves weight.
slapping 17's on std 260mm brakes actually has the same effect as fitting 240mm brakes to a std rs turbo, not alot of people know that!

17" kit using the RS 7 spoke with the huge caliper now almost ready.
Enquirys / orders being taken
315mm x 28mm rotors with the massive Brembo caliper giving a 65mm pad surface area, bigger than the AP or RS options at a fraction of the cost.
Another feature of these calipers is the butterfly pad retaining clip.
Squeeze together in the middle and you can change your pads in under 30 seconds.
