does any one know if this will fit a MK3? i know of a set, and from what i can gather, they are 290mm . would i have to go 17''s?

[AdamB]

they "should" fit under 16's ( I say this as i have 300mm Brembo's under 16's)

however you are gonna have clearance issues as offset and width of calipers cause a lot of clearance issues with the spokes

plus you have to service them every 5 miles as the seals are pap

do yourself a favour and look towards a wilwood set is you want decent brakes. a nice 280mm setup with 4 pots look good and work really well, and should hopefully fit under 15's

or you could go mondeo or 4x4 sierra. apparently these have some serious stoppage

Do what I did mate: Dunno how well you can see the front brakes here You can see the full conversion pics in my thread in member's gallery...




Focus ST170 300mm front brakes- they fit fine under my 16" escort cossie rims and fill the rim perfectly with NO clearance issues. when I had wilwoods before I needed 5mm spacers to clear the calipers.

Plus with the ST170 Brakes it's just a bolt-on conversion, no brackets needed just drill the caliper mounting holes out from 10mm to 12mm on the fiesta hub-carrier and bolt them on. Also all the pads etc are standard ford parts so really easy to get hold of.

The power of these brakes is phenominal too. I was lucky enough to find a clean set in the scrappy for a very reasonably price, hopefully you'll be this lucky as some people do love to charge the earth for them

Good luck mate

that sounds like a plan. i will scan the scrappys...

jimmyesh can i ask how you managed to drill the holes on the hubs strait?

is it a case of the drill just finding its way? at 2mm extra ide imagin you would need to guide it?

im intrested because i need to uprate the stoppage on my 2.0..

[JayC]

im such a double posting tit..

[AdamB]

you just step up 1mm at a time, and it follows the normal path of the hole

i had these on my mk4 for a while, but after warping them (a good old ford trait) i decided to get something a little more serious

[JayC]

thought that might be your answer

thanks mate..

You warped ST170 brakes!!!!

I haven't managed to do that despite track use and a day of stopping from 150mph runs at Brunters
