Default How do you get focus RS calipers on a saph

Ive got a 4x4 saph and was wondering can you make a set of brembo calipers fit onto my car. would you require a just a spacer made and then on you pop or is it a bit more high tech than that.

Each to their own but why do you want to put brembo's off of a focus rs on ya cossie? given the choice i would go for some fat AP's and largeo discs

Brom @ Zoo and Martin @ Reyland do conversions using the Focus Brembos.

Better off going for APs like Charlie says.

Martin @ Reyland, Mike @ R&B or rsjp can sort you out with APs

AP's do cost a lot but it is money well spent, its usually the last mod that everyone does myself included, it should be the first, brakes must be big

Ahmen to that

the slightest knock nowadays and insurance companies want to write off ya cossie, thats why i don't drive my one very often these days, esc cos bumpers are hard to find so i would imagine the same for the other variants, if your thinking about going you gotta think about stopping, if you are going 300+bhp brake upgrade is vital, before i done mine the car never used to stop and i nearly wrote it off on a couple of occassions
