Changing brakes on a Fiesta ST

[Tighten My Nuts]

I do this regularly, almost for fun, so thought I'd film and share the very simple process for anyone unsure of what to do.

Good video!

Brilliant video.

I do have to question the fact that I watched it all...even though I don't own a fiesta. I must be bored

good stuff mark!

How come you went for the brembo front pads over the DS2500's?

For whatever reason the DS2500s are not as good as I used to remember them to be in my 172 Cup.

They feel very compressible and wear/crumble fast. For the price they are not worth it.

My new favourite, in the Fiesta, are EBC Yellows, zero fade, solid pedal, zero dust, and at £60 a set the fact that they wear to the backing plates in one track day is no issue. Next time out I'll take a spare set and drop them in over the lunch break.

Until then though, basic Brembo pads are more than enough on the road for me and they cost pennies.

Where did you get the Brembo discs and pads from @MarkCup? My brother is needing new brakes all round on his

Once you've used George, you'll never go back.

Can't get Brembo front discs though, what I put on in the video was Mintex front discs and Brembo everything else.

Cheaper than Ford Oem?

I honestly have no idea. The Ford OEM pads are grabby, far too grabby, coupled with the over servoed assistance the brakes become far too sensitive.
