Can I ask a probably dumb question but are the ST brakes an upgrade on a T5's brakes? and why are they an upgrade do they have allow bigger discs or have bigger pistons etc....

A S40/V50 T5 should have the same as the ST as standard - 320mm (16.5").

Take a look at the link mate, All the info needed is in here. Think on the T5 they are 300mm and on the ST there 320mm

Mine is a 2004 (very early) V50 T5 and has not been changed since new and it is fitted with 320mm (16.5") and I believe T5-Monkey is the same in his S40 T5? So it would appear the 320mm (16.5") is the standard on the T5.

£40 Delivered.

Did you ever sell these?

Could do with them if still in the garage.

Some T5's run 300mm discs

Early ones with 17" wheels from factory I believe.

I'm burdened with them too... will be upgrading to Focus ST's with Ferodo DS2500 pads over the Summer
