Focus RS discs,BMW Brembo calipers and brackets to suit

Guessing if they fit behind the pro race without spacers though.

Yes it does ......and with mine fitted id have to agree, but as previously pictured, they do JUST fit under a 16 " rim with a spacer, but that's Also dependant on wheel design/shape.

Must say they look ok but as they dont go behind fifteen inch wheels and b more importantly without sounding picky they are a bodge spacers and auxiliary brackets to get them to fit just not on for me our system is made specifically to attach to the existing fixings with no spacer or auxilliary brackets far to many things to fail plus the graded size six pot gives very even pad wear and pressure under severe braking.
