new 2 fords

Hi i am looking at the options for doin a big brake conversion on a saphh so wen up the power to ova 300bhp they will handle it.

are the hubes the same on the standard sapph as the cossie sapph?

thanks

tabetha

NO basically.
STD hubs 2wd are different around the area at the base of where the strut goes, cossie ones are stengthened here, std have big dip in them cossie ones are solid.
BTW 2wd and 4wd different also different strut diametres!!
Any brake kit that fits a cos will fit on a normal non cos hub though, just need to tap the holes tha hold the carrier in non cos 2wd ones.

aps m8 ever time

Not necessarily mate, Focus RS Brembo's are 330mm, work fine and a MASSIVELY better price then AP 330's...

Wilwood also have a good name, as do Hi-Spec really (so long as you can put up with the after service)

AP's are awesome but it's all bloody named brand's on here, which you pay for and you know about it!

I would not touch Ap's, due to PRICE!!, mind you at least you would get them on time and CORRECT.
I want a set of FRS calipers and discs, as said much cheaper.

so basically i should be lookin at a set of focus 330mms not the aps. your right about the price a set of aps for the fronts were over Ł1400.

would the focus calliper and discs fit straight onto a non cos then?

tabetha

I do not know for certain, but fords have tended to use the same spacing for the brakes on their hubs, so there is a very good chance they will.

No they won't brackets will need to be fabricated but they arn't rockert science...

ZOO charge Ł120 but fucked if i'd pay that! Any monkey can knock some decent brackets up....

i managed to build my ap's up by buying them seperatly and they only cost Ł450,took a liitle while and most is second hand but happy with that price.

406 coupe 3L
fiat coupe 20V
Alfa 156 gta

So where would one get discs or bells to run with these callipers?

Reyland motorsport can sort them out for you mate

Thius would also interest and SURPRISE me as the above use 305mmx28mm discs whereas the FRS are around 330, only the FIAT")V TURBO are the above size the non turbo is smaller.
