Hello at the outset I want to express my satisfaction to see your video and how simple it is to make an improvement in the braking system with equipment superior to the standardized I have, I want to make that same improvement to my Ford Escape 2017 titanium this system fits a ford exhaust Thank you for making this video

[@fixins9868]

Im not sure. Get yourself an OEM focus ST caliper from the junk yard and see if it fits. If it does the Brembos should.

[@Kludrex]

You:re very thorough in your work. Wish I had the means and knowledge to do this. Very good!

[@larrycolin1227]

i realize I am pretty off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online?

[@reecealdo3707]

@Larry Colin Try Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@beckhamemerson2063]

@Larry Colin I watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

Hello! Excellent video thanks! Do you have recommended pads and spacers to add to your list of parts? Thanks again.

[@ch-ir8ld]

good video and good explaining

[@anthonymalfino1]

Excellent. Thanks!

[@deckboy7998]

Great tutorial!!! :-)

[@kys.online]

So if I get bigger rotors do I have to get bigger calipers? Or will the original ones work?

[@Whiteshoe5]

Great video. Did you bleed the rears as well? Or can you get away with bleeding the front only?

[@fixins9868]

Only the fronts, no need to do the rears since they weren't opened.

[@dannyj7618]

Should have put steel brake line, if youre replacing it anyway. Other than that, what year is your ST? My ST is 2015 and always thought they used same size rotor from 2015+ as RS. Them Brembo brakes are sick!

[@fixins9868]

I put on SS lines later, but yeah it would have been easier to do it at this time. built after 3/31/14 ST are 335mm and RS are 350mm. Mine was built before this so they are 320mm stock. I get a lot of ST owners confused when they see my car.

[@erickmerejildo4629]

I want to install this in my ford fusion build i been doing a lots of research to make sure they fit but I can’t find any, do you think the bracket that holds calipers is the same sizes?

[@fixins9868]

I'm not sure. But you could get a cheap junk yard ST caliper and see if it fits, if it does the brembos should

[@alexcamarena8411]

Perfect fuckin video thank you!!!!!!!!

[@chitham3191]

Did you not need linger studs then after fitting the spacer? What thickness is the spacers?

[@fixins9868]

3mm spacers. There is enough thread engagement that it isn't a problem for street use. I've been driving like this for over a year without issues.

[@victorgonzales7961]

Would you happen to have the parts number for the pads?

[@fixins9868]

I don't have the part number, but any pad that fits the Focus RS will fit these calipers.

[@cleavelandcoleman1788]

You’d think the kit would come with metal braided hoses...🤔

[@fixins9868]

This isn't the kit. I sourced all the parts myself making it a lot cheaper.

[@dham99]

very cool..very knowledgable too! Pricy upgrade though...but one thing i can say...replace those Ford lug nuts pronto! they are GOING to fail. They're a capped 2pc lug that will leave you stranded and unable to remove your wheels.

[@fixins9868]

Thanks! As for the lug nuts, I don't use them in winter so they have lasted a long time actually.

[@dham99]

@@fixins9868 Mine were mint, then one day all of a sudden after the dealer did a routine maintenance on my ST...they were ALL destroyed. So its not so much how often they're used, its how they're used. Dealer's treat our cars like an assembly line, paid by tickets/jobs, quick to remove/install lugs without hand tightening them. So they over torqued 20 lugs, and didnt say a word. If I did my own, it would have likely never happened. But do a KZbin search or online search about "Ford 2pc lug failure" or something similar..its really sad Ford is aware of the engineering failure, but refuse to resolve it.

[@McNuggets-419]

Where did you get the spacers?

[@fixins9868]

From Amazon. You want 5x108 Center Bore 63.4mm. These will be hub centric.

[@carlodelgado7216]

Which brake pads did you used?

[@fixins9868]

Power stop for Focus RS. Nothing fancy.

[@ExtremePowerWheels]

WOW. what happens with all that grease when the wheels starts spinning? goes everywhere including the disc brake surface. STUPID STUPID AND DANGEROUS.

[@maciekapocaliptic]

I thought the same. Although my concerns are more about the vibrations that must come with time. The surface between the hub and the disc should be dry is the first thing. The second thing is the ST needs to upgrade the rear brakes, not the front ones. Of course, the front ones are also worth replacing, but the ST has terrible rear brakes and they should be replaced first.

[@AlanNoMoney]

Impact drive instead of actually torquing them to the correct torque setting. Clown

[@ITACHI-YT]

The wheel hubs are not lubricated. Checking the brake disc runout. Video to remove, teaches unprofessional work. Such a fitter can lead to an accident.
