Check coleyst200's thread in the resto section he has fitted them to his focus running full 4x4 drive train.
I'm sure the bracket to carry the caliper is pretty straight forward to make .
Think there's a little Dremel work for clearence on the caliper

Are they the type found on the Evo 5-9? The ones with the 320mm front disc and 300mm rear I believe.
Same as I have ready to fit to my fiesta - the rears have no handbrake mech, so that's something to consider.
I'd have thought a mk1 focus RS disc would work on the front. The spacing on the mounting holes is different to the RS Brembo's, so don't try using brackets for those.

Totally different Dan.
As said the RS 7 spokes are a nice wheel but even the std 2wd brakes require a 5mm spacer for them to clear so many aftermarket brakeset ups will just not fit.

The fronts are 355mm mate, not sure on the rears
