Cossie 2WD calipers are 4 pots, Cossie 4x4 are single piston.
If you're running Ford 15's you can either:
- Bolt on a set of Cossie 4x4 calipers & Cossie 2WD disks. Pro: No mods. Con: Can be expensive
- Bolt on a set of Cossie 2WD calipers & Cossie 4x4 disks (IIRC). You will need to drill out the hub to accept the larger bolt - Pro: 4pots. Con: mods & can be expensive
- Bolt on a set of Mondeo calipers with adaptor brackets, ST170 disks. You will need to grind the top face of the caliper or it will foul the wheel - Pro: Cheap. Con: grinding the caliper face
If you're running larger than 15's go for the Mondeo caliper and ST170 disks, cheapest and most effective and you won't then have to grind the caliper.

When I put 2wd calipers on my escort I used 2wd discs as well.
The mounting face of the calipers needs 4mm machining off it to sit in the center of the disc & also you need to mod the brake hose to a banjo fitting instead of the standard screw in job.
