I was going to get that 300mm hi-spec setup. Well, i say i was going to get it, i've been mulling it over/dreaming/debating/ bailing on the idea for over 2 years  Just could never commit the coin to something i know i'd never use the full potential off, they just look decent. I know what you mean, would they offer more braking power than the Brembo's though? I've heard the brembos were better unless you went for the monster Hi-spec kit, not sure how true that is but everyone who had the Brembos say you can't fault them.

Is this all really necessary, spending massive amounts on full brake set ups when surely a pad upgrade would do......??

On its last track day the brakes weren't up to the job really, normal driving of course its fine, i've found a set of RS Brembo's so they should give a good mix on road/ track & budget

Is that more to do with the pads though?
...Just got some braided hoses for mine today from Graham Goode.

Will probably be trying these next time http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Focus-RS-Mk1-2...=item3a7f7974ffApparently makes quite a difference, don't know if they make anything for the fiesta Don't forget the RS weighs about 200kg more than the fiesta as well

Actually it's not those it's the bigger ones I want but anyway might be worth dropping reyland a call as they will build custom kits, have a look through the RS section to see what they do, think they would just need to make a different set of brackets
