mk3 mondeo calipers/pads and st170 discs , might need to drill bolt hole out couple of mm and with-out tickling calipers with grinder will need 16" wheels, price from £200 -300 depending on what condition/make of discs you go for. works great on mk3 fiesta so should be good.

Yeh 12mm spacer between hub and caliper... You can get the calipers new from most motor factors pretty cheap too, mintex plain discs and a choice of pads for under £250! Gotta be the best for the money? Bigger and in better nick than most 2nd hand cossie calipers and alot cheaper than brembo or ap's
