chubbs ....

try cossie breakers for the calipers, or Burton Power do re-con ones. The Fiesta Centre does kits for rear disks conversions for Ł199.

They all advertise in Fast Ford.

Cossie 4x4 callipers and discs work a treat. Honestly wouldn't bother changing the drums though.

ST170 Focus set up will go behind your 16's and stop you very well.
