Dependant on the model the mondeo brakes came off you should be able to use the standard brake hoses as the fittings are the same, I've got Mondeo ST24 brakes and they just connected straight up. With big front brakes you'll want the servo and master cylinder conversion done as well though.

Not sure about the rear setup, but I've heard focus rear brakes mentioned with a MK5 fez rear beam to fit correctly (without MWSTEWART levels of welding).

The brakes will fit under 16's, no issue, the 278's off an early ST24 I have under my 15's fit fine.

I would definitely do the Servo and Master cylinder upgrade, though you may want to do the brake lines too. I have done everything but the brake lines and I'm concerned about possible bulging in the future though everything is fine at the moment.
