Front brakes I would fit the 300mm discs and calipers from a Focus ST170 as they improve things loads. If you have ABS on your car have it removed. Leave the back brakes alone as they don't do much of the cars overall braking and are quite up to the job in hand

Yup, i'd agree with Steve. Leave the back well alone! dont fit a rear disc kit, it will end in tears

I still have to remove abs and fit my 170 kit and i'll let u know if things improve

fitting a rear disc kit helps dramatically if it is set up by a pro,usually via bias valve
