Default Set of S40 Front Brake Caliper Set

As above, Taken from a 2008 S40 2.0D. Perfect working order, taken off due to Focus ST brake upgrade. Not sure if these will fit V50 or other sized engines i.e 1.6.

£40 Delivered.

Hey!

Question:

300 mm or 278 mm?

This is written on the caliper mounts/caliper brackets (which hold the pads).

The old discs were on the way out hence why I went and got the upgrade.

Love them, Nice bite to them, Very little play. Still finding the EBC red stuff needs a little heat in them first but after a few mins of driving the bite is very strong.

Tried them out the other day, Only 40mph but stood on them and it felt like the car done and endo and the rear was up in the air lol.

Awesome upgrade and recomend to anyone, Even from a safety point of view!

A S40/V50 T5 should have the same as the ST as standard - 320mm (16.5").
