Anyone know what i need to put St200 front discs an calipers on my rs2000. Is it a straight swap or do i need som brackets for the calipers?

better off with st170 discs and calipers or mondy mk3 calipers and st170 discs unless your running stock 15s, st200 brakes is not much of a upgrade tbh on the rs2k, your better off getting quality discs and pads in your original size

Ok. Thanks. Was asking because I have a complete, almost new set of ebc brakes for an St200. But Just read somewhere else that the mondeo discs doesn't fit because of wrong offset compared to the rs2000.
So think I will buy some new ebc brakes in original size ☺

You use Escort Cosworth discs and then space the calliper out by 5mm - this is my understanding. Anyone else have experience of the 280s over the 260s of the RS2000
