While fundamentally I don't disagree with you, that the mk4 brakes are not a weakness at all, I'd just point out that fade can indeed be a bit of an issue depending on car spec (we... obvious haha)

My estate is running M330 and its used as a family car, which means always heavy with stuff inside (toddler car seat, roof bars, a million things extra that you need when you drive long distance) + the weight of the car itself being slightly higher... Fade is indeed present after a couple of spirited miles or couple of stronger pedal pushes.

It can be a combination of car heaviness with high exterior temperatures (often driving in warm countries), oil, I don't know. But I'm upgrading the setup to something slightly more robust to fade very soon. I totally get that on a standard mk4 st this isn't an issue and yes, I find that the standard system is miles better than before!

They look awesome! 🤩 Are you running any spacers with them?

 

[ST Jon]

No spacers on the wheels, thinking of changing to the Revo RF019s at some point which are the equivalent of running 15mm spacers!

im also thinking about the revo 19s for the mk2 but waiting till September for the 20% off

Had em on my MK3 RS and loved em! I do like the stock rims on the ST but something about the Revo's...

That's good to know the stock wheels fit over the Brembos, thank you. I'm going to get my Revos off for a refurb soon.

I found these SNs to order from Ford, can anyone confirm if they are correct?
Can't find SN of the brake lines and spacers, some help ? Spacers be provided by ford or only home made?

left caliper LJ9C-2011-FEC
right caliper LJ9C-2010-FEC
disk 362mm LJ9C-1125-ENB

apreciate any info

 

[the radman]

as above,does anyone know about these spacers? or have a pic? i presume they are just a small bobbin/washer type of thing machined up by somebody

the spacers aren't provided by Ford, because the TP knuckle has a different machining for the caliper mount to centre the caliper and therefore doesn't need it. Read back through the thread and there are some references to someone who machined some spacers. I would assume you could do a deal and order some from them.

does anyone know who that is? i dont do facebook

I didn't know that the TP knuckle was not the same. Any other part that is different? I thought the installation would be plug and play but it seems a little more complicated

I don't know what else is different. I remember doing a CAD overlay of the 2 knuckles when I had access to that stuff, and the caliper offset was clear to see. I don't remember any other differences, but not 100% sure.

 

[the radman]

it only seems to be the spacer thats needed nothing else different,just finding how to get the spacers thats the hard part

It is the point My fear is a possible difference in the bolts distance. If the caliper fits correctly, a litle offset is not a problem.
Pumaspeed provides a OEM TP brakes kit, but no mention any spacers

 

[the radman]

theres no difference in mounting hole spacing as far as im aware, its just the offset
like you say though, the pumaspeed kit has no mention of spacers at all

i emailed pumaspeed asking about the spacers but never had any reply so still non the wiser if its just a washer thats need or a wider spacer

 

[Gary haywood]

Is the puma speed mk4 track pack break kit exactly the same as what you get from Ford on the track pack extra size wise and are the disc and calipers bigger than std breaks on mk4 st non track pack.

 

[the radman]

it looks the same kit,the o/e discs are 330mm 2 pots and the trackpacks use 363 4 pot brembos,there doesnt seem to be any spacers with their kits though which are deffo needed,they never did bother responding to me when i asked,id price it all up from fords first to see how much it costs

 

[LR2313]

I am the one that added all the details on the FB groups and have the spacers machined, pumaspeed wouldn’t know as they probably haven’t fitted the kits
