The St3 has 5 stud wheels so more changes would be needed.
The St170 front brakes are 300mm and work very well on my ST170

ST150 is a direct replacement. I have them on mine and they are an improvement over the puma's original brakes.

Did the rear axle width reduced after changing rear brakes? Brakes from fiesta st150 and f fusion 2.0 are the same?
