just got the car all legal again

but the standard brakes are very poor for stopping, what are the best brakes to get? something that my standard 3 spokes will fit over? or if not ill keep my 15's on the car? i just want a basic straight swapover and thats all im looking for.

I think the standard brakes are the biggest you'll fit under the standard 3-spokes. Under 15s you can fit Cossie/ST150 brakes which are a good upgrade. If you want to keep the standard brakes though, just get braided hoses and bleed the system. That should sharpen them up a bit

Why do you need to change the disks... just get a set of good pads...

Rob - I have motor factor discs, braided lines, mintex fast road pads up at the front with motor factor pads at rear and new juice (5.1) all still with ABS on my FRST and it works well.

Its all about size, you know, what you women complain about all the time

You can get 4 pot Willwoods with 283mm discs under 15's, it's what will be going on mine

14" .. 260MM (ST150, escort RS2000)
15".. 278mm (Cos4x4, Mondeo v6)
16".. 300mm (st170 discs, st170, mondeo mk3, focus mk2 calipers)

I run a setup similar to the RS2000 260mm under 14s and they work very well... Not made them fade yet anyway

fiesta mk5 zetec-s or 2000> pumas use 258mm discs and should fit under standard 14's.
discs and pads are cheap to replace as well.
