I assume your talking about the fronts? I didnt think the 4wd came with 4pots. Just 2 pots. may be wrong but even if they are 4 pots they are different

4wd saffs came with a 1 pot sliding caliper,it was 2wd saffs that were fitted with 4 pots.A 2 pot was never fitted to any RS Ford!!!

Surly the 4wd would of been better with 4 pot brakes?

Yes but 4WD were not 2WD running gear, so oviously money isn't going to be spent if they can otherwise cut back.

As said 4x4 doesn't have 4 pots, it's simple single pot sliding design all round, front discs are different sizes at the front as well, and are a different type at the rear.

Ok so the difference is 2wd had 4 pots and the 4x4 didn't!!!
Got it lol
So I assume the discs to suit the 2wd 4 pots are tge 283mm????

Could you put 2wd calipers on a 4wd? I bet i have to make a stupid bracket that i could never make lol.

I understand would the money cut backs and all but 4 pot is going to be better so really ford should of put them on and just charged customers.

Mount a lot different... Sure 4x4 the calliper is at the front and 2wd there at the rear of the disk...any reason for this...?
