Basically, i was wondering what brake setup i can use on my 1.3 mk3.5 fiesta. Reason being, is because i love the look of the drilled/grooved disks. Also, i would like something that brakes slightly better! Mine are pretty good.. but i would like something that is better lol. I would rather have something that is a straight swap because its easier! Also i have 15" wheels on my car ![]() If anyone could come up with a list at all, it would be good ![]() ![]() |

Are they solids on the 1.3 like my 1.1 ones were?? You could fit Si/Ghia/RS1800/RST calipers/discs/pads which are vented and will make a difference. Or another cheap mod would be to get some mondeo mk1/2 calipers from the scrappers, fit discs and pads, these are slightly bigger than the normal setup (si etc) and made a big difference, and still fit under 15's If you wanted to go mental you could fit cossie brakes etc, but I wouldnt see the point. Mondeo brakes are cheap and better than the best as standard discs ford did on the fiesta ![]() |

Hmm fair nuff, not checked. All I know is I fitted mondeo 1.8TD/2.0ltr ones because they were slightly bigger and got them cheaper than replacing the discs/pads ![]() I'm fitting 300mm brakes soon on the cheap ![]() |
