welcome to fsi ![]() the most common brake upgrade for the fez is either the cossie 4x4 brake set up, these will require spacing to get them to bolt straight on, there is a guide or more info on here somewhere have a search ![]() or the brakes off a fiesta ST150, iirc i think these bolt directly on with with no spacing require |

I really wouldnt bother with putting discs on the back my friend. Not really enough weight to warrant it in my opinion. If you do you will need a brake biasvalve and if its not set correctly u will end up with all sorts of braking troubles. Ive heard of people being wrapped around trees because of rear discs being too powerfull. Also, big brakes are only good if the tyres can grip!! |

jus big brakes up front then, jus thought it wud look abit more serious. is ther the option of having far more powerful brakes upfront compared to the rears n gettin round the bias valve that way? |

im sure luke off FT had problems with the back end wanting to be the front end and almost spinning the car around when he did the rear disc conversion, lol really not needed unless your seeking major power hoists!!!! |
