Default BIG Brakes on a FRST recommendations

need to upgrade my stoppers, really don't know best way to go..........

Ford Based Using cossie part ???????

Wilwood,hi-spec,brembo ????????

like the idea using focus Rs Calipers ,but don't know of anyone running them let alone someone to make me up some mounting brackets!


don't want to spend shed loads i.e calipers for say £100 then spend £400 trying to get them to fit & shed loads of hassle i could be doing without! , maybe utlise parts from breakers,cossie parts etc


let me have you suggestions

ST170 discs and capliers can be had cheap, IIRC the kit is £400 from Pumabuild using standard parts.

And there's always the tried and tested cossie calipers and discs route. Parts can be has for £100, and Hi-Spec sell the brackets and what not to fit them

Escos setup was awesome on my mk4 fister with the st rear disc setup. Only had to be spaced using a washer, hardly botched.

if you can find a set the st150 brakes bolt straight on, have them on both mine and they fit behind most 15s!
