Default Brake Upgrade

Hi,

Just wondering what rough costings would be on a brake upgrade for a 2002 Ford focus.

Currently have single piston 280mm up front. Looking to get upgraded to something like the Mustang Cobra twin piston PBR caliper (the one with circle holes) and maybe running a 300mm Rotor or 330mm would be great.

I know DBA do a 300mm Rotor for the ST170 focus (model up from mine), but haven't been able to find anything for 330mm either in a one peice or two piece.

I Dont do track days , but do enjoy a spirited drive and thinking of doing the occasional Hill climb.

Any suggestions or recommendations welcome.

Sorry i don't have anything available and those calipers you mentioned are not made by PBR/Bosch anymore. Some guys have imprted there brake kits from the UK but have you looked at seeing if the XR5T brake will fit the front of your car at all as other than that we would have to custom make something for you.

Thanks Matt,

I know im going to need a custom bracket to get the caliper to mount on the HUB so i guess anything is worth a try.

Ill have a look around and see what i can find.

Any recomendations on a place to find them second hand?
