Default Big brakes with standard callipers

Anyone know where i can get 330mm discs and brackets to allow me to use standard callipers with them on a 2wd sapphire?

So would i be able to use them on my MK6 Escort? Currently running a 4x4 Cossie setup on the front, and the calipers have had to be spaced out 6mm from the hub.

Well you must have done something wrong, cause you can see they were on my car & they came straight off Lukes car & fitted mine perfect.
