Hello jon!

Will do Brembo - I will have a detailed post in the near future. Unfortunately the Evo brakes will not fit

I shall briefly explain - I got the brakes to clear the spokes of the 16s without the need of spacers, I got the Brakes to fit perfectly on 300mm discs borrowed from a Ford Focus ST170. everything was look perfect! So much so, a mini celebration took place!

I managed to find a spare Fiesta hub which I placed into the wheel with the caliper in the correct position. DANM ***!*£*£$*$*!!!!

I could get them to fit. However, I would either need to space out the whole wheel/disc/caliper assembly by 40-50 mm EACH SIDE! or make some major modifications to the caliper. I was prepared to make some minor shavings to the caliper, but I would need to seriously butcher them. Given that this is a safety item first and foremost, I had to pass over beauty and admit a reasoned defeat.

Not the end of the world though, the 'rear' calipers in the avatar will fit and a set of those will grace my car soon enough - there are a few Fiestas with them on - but at least I can say I looked at every possible way of mounting the Evo brakes.

I have photos e.t.c - so will make a thread for the appropriate discussion
