Whats the best/easiest/cheapest way to convert my FRST to re

CVH and Zetec tuning, suspension and braking mods.

Yep, like the topic says...

I've been wanting to do this for quite a while now, but the only way i know of going about it is by using an RS2000 rear beam.

Is this the only way?

Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated fellas!

RS2000 and Focus disks should bolt onto the Fiesta stub axles. Puma Racing rear beam with disk brakes also goes straight onto the Fester (with the obligatory bit of jiggery pokery :wink:).

In the new Burton power catalogue they list a complete conversion kit for the Escort, so it might be worth speaking to them about a Fiesta kit.

I have a Puma Rear Beam for sale, which will not only give you awesome handling, but will also allow you bolt Focus rear discs straight on!

£300 for the black powder-coated beam, fully converted to run on a Mk3 Fiesta, plus new Poly bushes, Zetec-S rear drums - just bolt straight on (over £600 in parts alone!).

Employ Two Hampsters, get them to wear gloves with Break pad liner on them. This should stop your motor in the cheapest fashion possible :grin:

There is a conversion kit out there that uses the drum mounts to mount some caliper system, then the discs are held in like the front (on the stubs). I'll re-investigate this one as I saw it a bit ago.
