STANDARD FIESTA K REGDISCS

Postby FIESTA_NEO on Thu Feb 15, 2007 12:20 pm

I got a standard fiesta K reg 1.1i LX and was wondering if anyone knows what size discs they had as i would like to get a set of grooved for it and i think there wouldn't be any point in going bigger as i would have to change claipers aswell and im only putting 14" alloys on anyway and standard wheels are 13" anyway.

Just oput of curiosity what would be biggest discs and calipers i coul get for set of 14" wheels and how much would i be looking at.

Sorry to ask so many questions but, if i don't ask i don't know :)

the standard fiesta brake discs are 240mm, on the higher spec models they are vented, on the base models they are solid. I think you would have to change the calipers if you wanted to upgrade to grooved discs as they are likely to be vented too (meaning they will be wider than your current discs) unless you can find some solid grooved discs.
The biggest brakes you would be able to get under 14's are 260mm. i recently bought some new discs for my xr2i and they came to just over £30.
hope that helps

Rather than getting drilled or grooved discs I'd say the best thing to do would be to swap to FRST callipers (a set of which I happen to be selling) and standard vented discs. It's really easy too.

A good place to start looking for Drilled and Grooved solid discs is eBay:
