Although it's a saloon, you might find the sections on front and rear brakes
interesting / useful in my build thread here

Subject: [Quantum Owners] ST170 Brakes - any information?
Good Morning All, Afraid that the old Magpie tendencies surfaced at the weekend
and I now find myself the owner of a set of hubs, discs and calipers for a
Focus ST170. (well, they were cheap..!) The idea being to fit them to the 2+2
if possible, and I wondered if anyone had done anything similar? The front
discs are 300mm, and the calipers have the standard 90mm bolt spacing. however
the holes in the lugs on the hub are 70mm from the hub centre on the 2+2
(standard XR2 hubs) and 80mm on the ST170. That leaves me with a few options:1)
make up some adaptor plates to fit them (doesn't look promising due to lack of
space)2) Fit smaller discs (say 280mm) which would still be significantly
bigger than the XR2 ones, or3) Use different calipers? The rear hubs have a
4-bolt fitting to the axle. I haven't checked if it is the same as the Fiesta
pattern, but, to be honest, I'm less bothered with them, as I don't want to be
over-braked at the rear. Still interesting to know if anyone has fitted them,
though. It's not a top-priority job, but any information would be useful,
please? Thank you Dave.--
