It wouldnt be much of an improvement

Get some Escort RS2000 front brakes. Fit straight one and are much better

I fitted XR2i calipers and grooved/vented Tar.Ox discs and they made an ENORMOUS difference, with a fluid change of course. I'd recomment it.

I had all those uprated discs and pads and never found much difference, but then I never drove a solid disc Fiesta. Must be awful!

Ah yeah, that'll be why you didn't notice so much difference. Solid discs are terrible :oooh: What discs/pads did you have. I have the Tar.Ox 8 groove discs with Ferodo pads, they're great. Rawli said they were better than his Cossie ones, though his needed skimming apparently.
