The best part for Ford and the customers is that they are a standard production part, so they are cost effective.

Phido Member 58 Member For: 22y 11m Posted 27/09/05 08:13 AM Posted 27/09/05 08:13 AM The fronts are 322x28 and the rear 328x26. (although this is still somewhat unconfirmed I thought terrys had 322 front and rear).. Verse good old premium 325x32 and crud 303x16 or something rears. The new standard fronts are ~3mm smaller, and 6mm thiner. Thicker discs means they can take a more energy in say a single stop, but would take longer to disipate it. So its a muchness on that part. Good side is that they should be a fair bit lighter than premiums. Jack all diffrence really. The smaller fronts are easily compensated for the massive vented rears.. Realistically the new standard brakes are only ~20mm off the disc size you get on say a new M5. Which means they should be enough for most people most of the time. Those who aren't happy should really be looking at ~365mm discs and 4 or 6 spot calipers upfront for heavy duty trackwork. Good thing the rears are vented too, with DSC I would imagine the rear brakes would get used a fair bit.
