Hi all, I've just got to the point where I need to replace them. If I remember I think ours are Focus ST170 rears. As I'm swapping them anyway I was just wondering if anyone had upgraded theirs? Or done any kind of mod? I know the standard set is ample, but I Gotta swap them anyway. Your thoughts please?

Don't think they're ST170 discs, that car wasn't launched until 2002?
I'm sure they are standard MK 1 Focus discs.

you'd need to buy the larger St170 caliper carriers to do that.. the caliper is the same tho...

Oh... I thought they were ST170 ones, so what will I need for a direct replacement?

I think the standard parts are in the wiki in the Puma parts article

FRP rear discs and pads are the same as fitted to Focus (not ST170 / RS) 1998 - 2004 and Fiesta ST from 2004 - 2008

Any thoughts on upgrades anyone, or has anyone bothered, I'm not looking at anything complicated just maybe drilled or grooved ones or something? I'm happy to keep to the original option if not really worth bothering about.

Don't bother trying to 'Upgrade' the rear ...totally pointless to be honest, just makes sure it's working properly.. :)

Buy the proper pads that were originally fitted, they have much more bite than the motor factor crap :excl:
