Default breaking issues???

ok recently got a new(to me) rs and its had the abs disconnected now this dosent bother me because the last one had been disconected the pumps belts ect have all been removed and the master cylinder has the pot on top the pot has the 2 outlets looped around to each other

the problem is tho the brakes are utter crap so i have a bit of money to spend and was thinking of upgrading all the front brake set up including changing the mastercylinder if its required so what should i buy is my question lol

so in simple terms what calipers / disks / pads / mastercylinder / servo do i need to purchase to make the brakes acctually feel like brakes

No you dont mate stock MC and servo will be fine.
As an alternative if you are running 16" wheels or bigger then go for Focus ST 300mm discs with Mondeo MK3 Calipers and pads
If you look here https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...els-today.html you can see them fitted to my car.
