Default Mondeo Mk3 Calipers on Fiesta Mk3?

Will it fit/work? With the 300mm ST170 discs. I currently have the standard brakes with ebc greenstuffs and goodridge hoses but they still suck. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

If they're anything like mk5 fiestas, you need to drill the holes in the hub out to 12mm and then they bolt straight on, i've got mk6 Fiesta ST150 front brakes on mine and they bolted straight on.

I have 16" comp TH2's, they will have enough clearance won't they? Oh and referring to the drilling, which part of the hub do you mean to drill out? the calliper mounts? Cheers

you need 16's to go over the top
the hubs need drilling where the caliper mounts bolt up, from 10 to 12mm holes

just make sure they are centred as it's a bit more than just making the holes bigger, althought not much more

if you don't have a pillar drill then use a step drill to open up the hole first and then use the 12mm bit to go all the way

just amke sure it's set at a slow speed and you use plenty of coolent

and make sure you don't get any swarf in your fingers

You can fit these brakes behind 15" wheels, it depends on what make and spoke design. If you have motorsport wheels, say turins or MO's they would be fine. I have these brakes behind my 15" zetec-s alloy wheelson my mk3, however you have to grind a small bit off the calliper carrier to get them to fit.

There are two small bits that stick out, not much maybe 3-4mm near the top and bottom. Its these you need to take off. Best method is to fit the disks and callipers onto the hub, offer the wheel up, check to see what bit needs taking off, take wheel off grind, and then do it again until it fits.
