[Ram]

correct, what price are you paying for the discs ?
i might be able to get them cheaper

[stevo™]

well i havent seen my chum yet but on ebay there going for like 130+quid then theres the focus rs brake lines at 79+quid then the brakets 90quid plus the 125 i paid for my focus rs brembos cheers xrsi i thought i was gona be getting a decent cheap set up lol o well atleast it will be a good set up

[Ruishy1]

should be able to get a set for 80 quid ish mate

whatever you do dont pay 90 quid for a set of brackets, thats a complete rip off !!

[RSdan123]

thats a complete rip off !!

true it is but if you dont have the time and tools its the price you have to pay

[Ruishy1]

for 90 quid id make the bloody time

and if you do buy brackets mate can you send me some dimensions ?
il make them up for a pittance for anyone else doing the swap

[stevo™]

could you knock some brackets up then cheaper than 90quid?

[Ruishy1]

could you knock some brackets up then cheaper than 90quid?

if i had the calipers, discs and front hub assembly i could knock one up for about 30 quid

To do it your self make it out of plywood of mdf first, then transfer it to a high grade steel or super dural

[stevo™]

i have no tools to make the brakets with

[Ruishy1]

i have no tools to make the brakets with

you dont need alot of tools mate, make them outta some wood, and any fabricater could make them up in no time for you for maybe 30-40 quid

done some messuring today on a evo 8, they use the same 330mm x 28mm disc and the same brembo caliper.
know you have a lip on a used disc well from lip to lip was 25mm so i think you will get away with using the 300mm x 24mm ST170 disc

Its not the same brembo claiper, the evo one is much larger, believe me

[RSdan123]

ah, it look the same + it used the same size disc! even still thats better news if you could get away with using 300mm disc on the bigger evo caliper then surly it will be ok on the smaller focus caliper!

Its not he diameter that causes problems, its the height, centre bore and width that do.
You cant really use the ST discs on the brembo FRS caliper as they are too thin, when it gets to near end pad life, your braking will virtually dissapear, and with something as important as braking, you cannot take chances

[stevo™]

i think il just buy the brakets

[RSdan123]

anyone every used the MG ZF Trophy calipers they are made by AP RACING and they use a 304mm x 24mm disc..... they would be ideal for using the Focus ST170 discs!

some here

[Ruishy1]

you can use any caliper mate, it all depends on the discs sizes, if the trophy use the same size discs as the ST, then use the ST discs, and the brackets will position the caliper where it needs to be, but remeber, now you need to push alot more fluid, so your master cylinder WILL need upgrading

[stevo™]

ah i suppose mine will to whats a good ugrade?

[Ruishy1]

im sure the escort MS and servo can be made to fit with some small mods, but i cant remeber which one it is

[RSdan123]

i think its the mk5 rs2000, never done that conversion but seen some for sale before!

[stevo™]

il have to keep an eye out then
