yeah dude zs rear beam or i think Ram on here has got a rosejointed rear beam

wouldn't bother with rear discs though, Fiesta RS turbos are so light they really don't need it, i've done the fiesta centre conversion but turned into lots of work in the end, had to fit adjustable bias valve to make them work properly, was scary without them, was always trying to swop ends :lol: also messed with the rear offset & pushed out the rear wheels so they rubbed :lol: if i get another RST i wouldn't do it again

if i was you i would just re-new the drums, cylinders and shoes and spend the rest of the money on some 4-pots up front

but if you really wont rid of the rear drums i would do what Muz said
