Standard RSi brakes on a car with a RST engine, not good

What you want are Cossie 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs, they bolt straight on (just done the conversion myself )





Theres a fitting guide on the RS Turbo section that'll help you

As for the rears go for S2 RST bigger rear drums or if your mad like me get a rear disc conversion

Fitting rear discs is just a personal choice mate, i only did it because i hate messing about with all the springs and that on drums
