![Question](https://passionford.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
i was looking at a red rs2000 on ebay, in the photos it looks to have drums on the back, i though that they all had rear discs ? or did they get drums towards the end of production ?

yup , some RS2000's had drums , mainly towards the end of production
it seems ford fitted whatever was in the parts bin at the time
even a few SI's and GTI's ended up with discs from factory

in short yes
its much easier to fit the same parts to every model where possible , and with 150 BHP and fairly light its not like the RS2K really needed discs

Very very few MK6's came with rear discs, I have one here...

They imediatly changed to larger drum and ABS so you find many MK6's with discs at the rear. It uses the MK5 ABS brain.

My nouveau red one was black under bonnet
2WD with rear drums
The above 2 things made me think there was something not right with it when I went to buy. Turns out that was normal for a RS2K
Shite picture, but it's the only one I have.

No not on mine Glen mate, have a look in that thread bud, it isnt easy to put discs on a MK6 cause of the ABS etc, you can use Focus ST set up and Puma stuff but if you look at mine it has MK5 ABS brain from factory.
