Default Mk3 Fiesta

Hi all.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some good brakes for the Mk3 fiesta but at the same time not too pricey. I've only just got the car and the ones at the moment aren't upto much.

Cheers

I was thinking some cossie brakes, would they fit behind the standard Fiesta RS Turbo wheels (It's a RST Replica) and what kind of price am I looking at?

need at least 15's to fit cossie calipers. Should be able to get a set of calipers for under a tonne then just need discs and pads.

To be honest if the car is only an rst replica i doubt you have the power warrent esc cos brakes and a decent set of uprated discs and pads would surffice

You got the modding bug already Matt!

Like I said I just want some good brakes that aren't too pricey I will look into uprated discs and pads

Shorty: Just want to sort a few things out on it and then I can leave it how it is

Once you pop.... Car is Ace matt I love it. I had a 1.0L fiesta mate only mine was an standard appart from XR alloys and me and 4 of my mates drove round on five pounds worth of fuel a night so a pound each and we was sorted all night long. You dont need to go fast to have fun mate. I had more fun in that than my focus.
