OOh - do these make breaking much better? Plus do they fit under 16" square spokes?
The 280mm rear disc upgrade is probably mainly of interest to those who already have the front AP setup. The rear 280mms help to restore the brake balance that was shifted frontwards by the addition of 304mm discs on the front.
What may be of more general interest, is a front 280mm disc conversion.
I have been in contact with the ebay supplier, and he hopes to have some front setups available within a couple of weeks.
I might be totally wrong here but wouldn't more REAR braking effect be safer? Like when you ride a push bike and you put your rear brakes on before your front to stop you flying over the handlebars in a quick stop?

Ordered my set earlier
So what would the differences be between these and a set for the front? Wouldn't the same kit fit both straightaway?
Apart from the disc itself. It depends on where he sources the 280mm front ventilated disc.
It may have a different offset to the focus rear disc he uses for the kit you have purchased. So the adapter plates and possibly the spigot rings could be different.

280mm fronts have been available for a while from Mike Satur and MGOC but the kits are quite pricey at about £215.Ok thanks Just looking around now for some 280mm discs and have a few questions. What is it that makes the F discs different? I can see that the height of the Focus disc is different to the F but what is the problem with the PCD? Is that why the Focus discs have been machined to move the stud holes? Surely there must be a 280mm vented disc out there that is identical to the Focus rears
