I'm running 10's with 8.4's. discs are now 7.9", the callipers have been machined a little and the mounting holes redrilled. Came off a mates racer and have been fine so far. On 20th Oct, 2015 Tom Fenton said:

why has this side been machined? is it just so that its a flat surface to mount the caliper to? a minimal skim? |

The reason I don't like the Fiesta calipers is because they are sliding ones. I just DETEST sliding calipers. Rubbish, crap, shit etc... They are taken from the cheapest kind of car as well.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

They are taken from the cheapest kind of car as well. there are plenty of faster, heaviey and more expensive cars than the fiesta Though Vegard many bmws ,mercs, even my misses golf gti 16v etc use single pot sliders now I admit it does feel like a step backwards logicaly but the price differnce between the fiesta and S setup is enough for me on a seriously low budget and of course you can see I am not the only one who is more than happy with the stopping capabilites of this setup but of course everyone has there own opinion
