I got the junior kit in to convert rears to disc, but what rotors and calipers do I need to buy? Not getting a response from them. I have a 2016 1.0L. EDIT. Just heard back picked up parts from a 07 focus 2.0L.
Maybe the parts list has been updated a little since I first did mine but initially pulling together the proper caliper/ slide bracket combo was a little tough.
Just a quick breakdown here:
The caliper itself (which houses the piston) is virtually the same exact part (with a difference in the ebrake attachment point) between mk1 Focus models w/advancetrac (rear discs inc. ST sedan models), mk1 SVT models and the current Fiesta ST.
The slide bracket (which the caliper attaches to and which holds your rear pads in place) is the same part for Focus w/advancetrac and the current Fiesta ST. The Focus SVT had a slightly reshaped lower bend on the slide bracket which made it a taller piece.
The adapter bracket that Gold Coast supplies bolts to the bottom of the slide bracket and holds it all in the proper position to allow for the new rear discs.
This Jr. kit, when I installed it, required the use of the Focus SVT specific slide bracket to obtain the proper dimensions to fit the rear rotor.
Pretty much no where sells that slide bracket by itself and NAPA was one of the few places I found that sold remanufactured Focus SVT caliper/slider pairs.
The rotors themselves can be from any Focus w/advancetrac rear discs (including the ST sedan) or the current Fiesta ST (which uses the same rotor dimensions). The Focus SVT rear rotor is a larger diameter.
I ran that setup (Focus caliper, SVT slide bracket and Gold Coast adapter bracket) with a custom ebrake cable for a few years before I found a wrecked Fiesta ST in a salvage yard and swapped out the calipers and ebrake cables for stock Fiesta ST parts. That ebrake setup worked a lot smoother and looked better than my custom job.
If I had to do it again - I'd try and go for the Fiesta ST caliper and ebrake setup right off the bat - the issue is finding that SVT specific slide bracket to get the proper rotor clearance.
