you will need to get the disks and then st170 calipers...also think you need to machine the hubs slightly to get them on IIRC

im sure max wil help u regarding the cossie brakes....think they just need some spacers made up but im sure he will help u there....the st170 IIRC requires the hub machined to increase the holes slightly as the nuts for the calipers are slightly bigger then the fiesta ones....think its 12mm instead of 10mm :-?

Wheres the experts when you need them :lol:

Id go for ST170 as you have 17's :D

Cossies just need spacers, Not sure on the bolts etc for ST170's. Will just need drilling maybe.

Fitting the ST170's is easy, all you need to do is drill your hubs from 10mm to 12mm before fitting.
