you will have to change the brake lines to mk 4/5/6 or mondeo mk3 ones as the mk7 fittings are different

ok, shouldn't be a problem - though getting right goodridge lines set after that will be tricky :D
another question for you - I read somewhere that focus ST170 calipers are stronger than those on mondeo - true or false? I swapped ST170 brakes to my Focus and I love it - would like to be dissapointed on Fiesta though

from my experience there is very little difference other than the extra cost for the st170 calipers
ive got one of my setups on a 300bhp 24v cossie v6 sierra xr4i and my setup had no problems on track at ford fair last year
