Been thinking about fitting focus rs front calipers and discs, is this a worth while mod.
Just put some on the mk2 escort where doing and they are much lighter than the standard 4 pots but do you feel any difference. Or is there another option without spending the massive money on the APs.

Picked the trailer up today ready for Tuesday's trip to msd
Had some issues getting it on so in the end we had to take the bumper off because of clearance. Don't suppose it makes and difference really

After a great drive down to Santa pod and back with the new setup the abs light came on, found a wire worn through near the plug on the block. Been rubbing on the coil bracket and gone through, soldered a new piece in.

Green relay i think is the abs. But you might wanna check the main fuse box for blown fuse.

Was that blue and white wire from the valve block.?

At least you sorted it.

Are you able to post your power graph?
