Hi every one i have just brought some FOCUS RS Brembo calipers + ST170 discs, i want to put them on my fiesta turbo but before i start pulling it to pieces can anyone tell me if i need a bracket made or can i just drill and space them.
also can i use my fiesta brake hoses or do i have to get custom ones made.
and help on this would be great

Many thanks

Danny

im in the same boat dude
you defo need brackets tho mate to mount the caliper as for the hoses im not sure

[RSdan123]

hose's --- on the caliper end you need a banjo not sure if you can get away with using FRS braided hoses, as for the brackets think i might just make my own......
check this out some good pics

IIRC the calliper is to big to go with 300 mm discs. you need the 330mm discs. You have to grind a chunk out of the calliper to get it lowenough to fit with these discs.

Speak to a lad called mat from there hes made a set of brackets for me.

just some pics so you can see how much needs griding out and of the bracket.

cant see any pics!
so let me get this right i cant use the st170 disc at all?
how much did your brackets set you back?
can i fit 330mm discs behind 16" mondeo alloys?
thanks

The callipers wont fit behind mondys. I had both lying in the garage one day so tried to see if they would fit. But the calliper was hitting the spokes and would need spacing out way to much.

St170 brakes are the best bet mate. Or mk3 mondeo v6 calipers and st170 discs is the same setup but cheaper.

[RSdan123]

there is a lad on here saying he used the 300mm disc post number 97
i wanted 4 pots really, i already have puma racing/rs2000 280mm brakes but they just dont do the job + brembos look the dogs.

[Ruishy1]

how thick are the ST170 discs ?
going by the stupid price of RS brembos, i was gonna make up a big brake kit using 300zx/skyline calipers

If st discs are the right thickness, this could be a possibilty

[RSdan123]

st170 dics are 300MM X 24MM, do the 300zx/skylines use 4 pots?

[RSdan123]

Specs of the 300zx disc 280mm x 30mm vented, PCD 4 x 114.3
300zx use the Z32 calipers

[Ruishy1]

yes they use 4 pots, the later 300zx and skyline calipers are alloy, the early ones are iron and really heavy

Its a pity the discs are so thin, but i may still design a big brake kit if their are enough people interested
Use a set of 4 pots and a range of disc sizes

iv already got frs brembos iv found some one selling the brakets i just needed discs but if the wont go behind mondy alloys will they go behind escos alloys?

[RSdan123]

which discs FRS 330mm ones or ST170 300mm ones?

[Ruishy1]

which discs FRS 330mm ones or ST170 300mm ones?

ST dics are to thin. being only 24mm IIRC the FRS discs are 30mm

[RSdan123]

i thought they were 28mm?

[stevo™]

well now peeps are saying the st170 dics are to thing i dont know which discs to use iv got escos alloys so i dont know what size is to big or will the calliper go behind them

[RSdan123]

sorry to say if you want the 330mm FRS disc you will need 17" alloys thats why i was trying to find out about using the st170 disc! the brembo caliper of the FRS is ment to be able to use a disc size of 300mm-335mm from what i been told

[Ruishy1]

use pug 406 coupe discs, same pcd, slightly larger centre pore but can get spigot rings for a fiver, and brakcets need making up for them anyway, so account for any difference in offset 305mm diameter

[RSdan123]

305mm will be very close, think you max disc size you can fit behind a 16" is 308mm and that might be a compomotive style alloy. guess it will be a case of trial and error!

[RSdan123]

got any idea how thick the pug disc's are?

[Ruishy1]

they are 28mm mate

[stevo™]

so pug 406 coupe dics will fit do they need modding at all and what spigot rings do i get frst ones? sorry im still learning lol

[Ruishy1]

they should fit ok. spigot rings are avaiable off ebay, the coupe discs are 66mm the ford are 63.4 iirc. and again the offest wil be off, but the brackets for the calipers will take up andy difference

[stevo™]

are spigot rings universal then? sorry im getting confused

[Ruishy1]

are spigot rings universal then? sorry im getting confused

there are some universal ones, but if you do a search the company on ebay does custom ones for the same price.
all you do is tell them the sizes and they will make them up

[stevo™]

im even more confused now i just thought i could get frst ones what size do i need

[Ruishy1]

ask for a 66mm outside dia, and 63.4 internal dia, that allows the discs to cetralise on the hubs

[stevo™]

cheers dude il get them the brakets and 406 coupe discs what brake lines do i need will the frst ones fit?

[RSdan123]

fiesta turbo ones wont work, you need a banjoo at the caliper end! might be able to use FRS ones but not 100%

[stevo™]

i can see this getting expensive lol

[Ruishy1]

FRS, fiat coupe or 406 coupe hoses should fit as they are all the same caliper

[stevo™]

cool il go see my chum in the local car parts place

[RSdan123]

stevo- if you can let me know how you get on and maybe take few pictures would be great. i have put my brake conversion on hold cause just brought a stage 3 head + cam + pectel T2 managment but as soon as thats sorted i will be wanting to do the brakes.
cheers

Danny

[stevo™]
