IIRC you need to enlarge the mounting holes in the hub carrier to 12mm but other than that straight on and work brilliantly. Be warned though they are a snug fit under 16's

ST170 stuff is cheaper by far mate (no Cosworth name tax), price up discs and pads for 4x4 Cossie and ST170 and you'll see what I mean. ST170 stuff works better as well, 300mm as opposed to 285mm. I ran Cossie brakes on my RST and swapped to the ST170's and they are streets ahead. My brother has just junked his Cossie brakes for ST170's as well for the same reason.

the blokes above
the st170 upgrade gives you 300mm discs and the appropriatly sized calipers
the cossie upgrade gives you 283mm discs and the smaller 278mm calipers, with the additioanl cosworth tax added to the equation
so bigger brakes, less expenditure on them, = worse brakes ebcause cosworth didnt' get their hands on your money at some stage of the proceddings

Er.. nobody said they were better only that the Cossie kit was easier
I already wrote the ST kit is a better choice

The st24 brakes are about the same size as the cossie set up so are smaller than the st170 kit 
brakes always get confusing though, I've bolted some mondeo mk3 stoppers to the fiesta and they are ace, other than the need to run 16's and make some pipes up
