	I have a '97 escort estate 1,4 petrol However in this day n age its brakes are a bit rubbish. I intend to go up to 15" Mondeo or Peugeot steels and 195/55 tyres. Cheap with good grip. I broke, for the engine and g/box, a '92 cabrio and still have the complete front struts and the rear disc beam. Can I "just" bolt these in?? Obviously everything needs to be cleaned, greased or whatever but I mean physically.... Thanks.

	Just refreshing everything, so -New pads -New discs if they are towards the minimum specified thickness -Refurbed calipers, done at home -New cylinder -New Flexis Maybe improve the brakes more than you think. But a bolt on from a 'superior' model will bring some benefits
