You would be limited to wheel size and spoke design also

I looked into this years ago and looked at ST170 disc's but found that they didn't work and only way around it is to have custom discs made

Had them on my rs .You can do it quite cheap,got all mine off ebay
Calipers and disc £200
New pads £20
Adapter brackets £50
New flexy hoses £20
Around £300 all in.
Minimum of 17 inch alloys over these and i needed 10mm spacers to clear my rims.
Here,s what they looked like after i painted them red with new decals.

Compare the calipers to the standard.


And the escort and focus rs discs.


Adapter brackets that you will need.
