Ford Fiesta Mk7 V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 290 mm 4-piston

The big brake kit Fiesta Mk7 290 mm from V-Maxx replaces the front brakes of the Ford Fiesta Mk7 (JA8/JR8) with a kit featuring 290 mm two-piece brake discs and 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium. The kit is intended for the Fiesta up to 103 kW with original rear drum brakes and already fits behind 15 inch wheels.

That makes this the logical choice if you use your Fiesta for club races, slalom or track days and want to keep running 15 inch wheels. You get more braking power, less fade and a pedal that stays consistent even after several hard braking actions. V-Maxx Autosport is a Dutch manufacturer and the kit has a TÜV certificate according to §19.3, so it is approved for use on public roads.

Key benefits

• Fits wheels from 15 inch; you check the clearance with the fitment template (WFC)
• 290 mm two-piece, grooved brake discs made of high-carbon steel
• 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium
• Ultra-light floating aluminium bells that release the heat quickly

• 2-year warranty from the Dutch manufacturer

Fitting and delivery

Fit the kit according to the V-Maxx fitting instructions supplied; they also list the tightening torques. The kit only fits cars with original steering knuckles. Clean the brake kit with mild soap and not with wheel cleaner, because it attacks the aluminium. For heavy track use, V-Maxx recommends removing the dust seals from the calipers.

Available options: V-Maxx Steelflex brake hoses 460 mm (set of 2) with PTFE inner hose and TÜV approval, Ferodo brake fluid (500 ml) and a V-Maxx wear indicator set. Delivery time: 4 to 7 days.

More braking capacity without larger wheels: the 290 mm V-Maxx kit already fits behind 15 inch.

Why choose this big brake kit Fiesta Mk7 290 mm?

This kit combines a considerably larger braking capacity with a small minimum wheel size. The caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium, which conducts heat about five times better than steel, and the discs have directional cooling channels. As a result, the brakes cool down faster and stay consistent under repeated hard braking, exactly where the original Fiesta brakes fall short. With TÜV approval and a 2-year warranty, it is a complete upgrade that is approved for use on public roads.

Frequently asked questions

Which version do I need for my Fiesta Mk7?

This kit (20 FO290 02) is for the Fiesta Mk7 up to 103 kW with rear drum brakes. For the same Fiesta there is also a 330 mm version (20 FO330 18), but it has no TÜV approval and requires wheels of at least 17 inch. For the Fiesta ST Mk7 there are separate kits: 20 FO290 03 (290 mm) and 20 FO330 01 (330 mm).

Does the big brake kit Fiesta Mk7 290 mm fit behind my wheels?

The big brake kit Fiesta Mk7 290 mm fits wheels from 15 inch. Check with the fitment template (WFC) whether the spokes clear the caliper; a wheel spacer is sometimes required.

Is the big brake kit Fiesta Mk7 290 mm suitable for a car with more power than standard?

Yes, definitely. A Fiesta Mk7 with more power than standard benefits most from this kit: 290 mm discs and 4-piston calipers give more braking power and much less fade. The kW limits in the application list refer to the original factory output, and with an officially approved power upgrade the TÜV approval remains valid.
