Will these fit our rear hubs and convert our 260 mm discs to 280 mm discs with OEM calipers? If so, Sekred for President!

OEM bracket, ST 170 and SiCo brackets,

Next brake job I do on a Transit Connect, I will be sure to measure the rotor so we can see if it matches up with ours in everything other than diameter, unless someone gets that information sooner. The rear of this car doesn't need a whole lot more brake, but something to help maintain balance when going to a bigger front rotor would be nice. Anyone know if Rotora is planning on a rear upgrade to match their sexy, sexy fronts?

I bought the rear BBK kit from Sico and asked them about replacement parts and they told me the rotors could be sourced from the Focus SVT with the 2.0 zetec badged duratec in the US, but the brackets were from the transit connect.

The bracket is obsolete in Australia

I'll cross those numbers at work tomorrow and see what comes up, but I can't see why those don't work.

We got part numbers for rotors and brackets?

 

[Sekred]

Bracket : 2M5V-2B582-AA. Euro Part Number. (Focus ST 170)

Disc : 4U2Z-1V125H, Or
4U2Z-1V125-JB. NA Part Number. (Focus SVT)

I also found this number, Brake Rotors - Rear 2M5Z-2C026-AA .

I'm guessing that there are no vented rotors that will work with our factory calipers and those brackets?

Yes, that's the idea. Non vented rotors.

 

[Nightcrew13]

Guessing they never get hot enough in the rear to warrant vented rotors

I cannot imagine the rear brakes doing all that much on these cars, unless one totally re-distributes the weight rearward close to (or more than) 50/50.

I guess that, and their light weight overall, is why they are solid discs from the factory.

Drive my car then drive any stock rear brake car... the difference is known.

Is it all in the greater stability/lessened darty behavior under heavy braking due to less extreme nose dive than stock, or some other factor?

Cool if the difference is that much I can't wait to get my transit/svt kit on!

I will need brakes in spring. Will someone have figure the part numbers required from the Transit for bigger rear rotors?
