Default Ka brake conversion help please

Hey folks, im planning an engine conversion to my ka in the not to distant future but want to uprate the brakes beforehand. Does anybody know if any other ford cars front brakes fit the ka without alteration etc. Im running 15'' propeller wheels and dont really want to go any bigger rim wise. Any help on this will be a great help. Thanks in advance, damo

Try and get yourself a set of mondeo v6 brakes or cossie ones, 278mm disks and big calipers. Check ebay as they come on there quite often. Easy fitted aswell.

Yes its the 4x4 brakes that fit. They fit on with 278mm mondeo v6 disks(ST24/200) you have to drill the caliper carrier holes on the hub to 12mm so the bolts fit. Space the disks out 3mm with washers or spacers which are available from pumaspeed etc.
