Depends what size you want, its not advisable to have better disks on the rear than the front

Camberly Auto Factors got me a lovely set of grooved, drilled AND vented front disks for 100 quid, not sure if they will do rear though as i still have drummage :(

To be fair the drum brakes are more than up to the job of stopping a little Fiesta as the back brakes on a FWD car only do about 10% of the overall braking.

You need to ascertain what your rear discs and callipers are off as they could be off any number of Fords (RS2k, 130XR3i/Si, Cossie, Focus). Before you know what you have it's not really possible to offer advise on what to get
