Great idea I was always told make sure you can stop before you can go fast brakes are more important

Here in the US we don't have any Kia's so this won't work for us. I'll be looking for the rotors used on the US version of the 80's Ford Escort. They are 235 MM diameter X 24 MM thick. The only issue I have is finding a caliper to fit. Not sure if the stock caliper mount will bolt up or not.

I can imagine that the ka is a bit too small for the US market😊. I'm sure that there are other conversions that will fit.

Very interesting! I’ve used the st170 brakes off donor car.. had to go down 20mm from standard st170 on disc diameter but have to cover them with 15” wheels! I’ll see how I go with clearance issues… 😳

Hi Mike, loving your progress videos! I'm going through the same as you now and this video was really interesting. A couple of things: - I've been looking at this setup and I've noticed the street Ka with the 1.6 engine was 2000 - 2005/06. You mentioned in the video description 1996-2000. Do you happen to know if these would be the same, I assume they would be - I also noticed that the calipers work with the 240mm and 258mm discs. Was there any particular reason you went with the 240mm? Thanks

Are these definitely off a street ka? All street ka discs i can find are 258mm you mention using 240mm discs? If i get a street ka brake set up the 240mm discs wouldnt fit well with the carriers? Or am i missing something. Thanks

Ahh ok. So the street ka calipers and carriers would be too big as they are 258mm discs? I'll have a look into it

This is completely untested but I think these fit. www.burtonpower.com/brake-pads-fiesta-mk4-mk5-2-00-02-not-1-6-ka-1-3-00-07-pa1268.html I'm looking at the fact that I had to grind down my outer pads to around 50mm in height to stop them touching the disk and these ones are for a ford ka and are 50mm in height but I haven't tested them yet
