where can i get brackets to move std calipers out to take cossie discs?also which discs do you use?2wd or 4x4
this is on a escort rs turbo
cheers

 

a 1mm washer is all thats needed when using 4x4 calipers and 2 w/d discs


standard calipers and 2w/d discs WONT improve braking IMO

 

You missed the point there, its on an RST.

Mike Rainbow does the brackets. Also, you need 2wd discs AFAIK.

 

I re read it and adjusted my 1st post

what point I know he wanted parts for a rst


as I said what's the point of that mod better of putting 4x4 calipers and 2 w/d discs which WILL improve the braking

 

what gains does the cossie caliper have over the rs turbo one?

the caliper and brake pads are bigger than standard rst's and will cover more if not all of the 2 w/d disks IIRC!

but I'm sure some one WILL correct me

 

ok,

keeping std calipers you need 2wd cossie discs + mike rainbirds brackets.

going cossie discs + calipers you need 4x4 calipers + 2wd discs.

the first option is actually pretty good, the second is better.

if you have good condition s2 calipers i would probably go that route, but if they need recon'nig then go 4x4 calipers

 

Now mate i run 4x4 calipers with 2wd cossie discs on my rst a far better brakeing response than rst brakes even better when you ad discs to the back..

 

Mad for it also do the brackets.


Ive been told or read somewhere that using the S2 callipers with brackets and 2wd discs gives more breaking force than using the 4x4 calliper and 2wd disc, dont know how much truth is in it though

Ive got 4x4 calliper and 2wd disc setup on my S2 with Ferodo pads and it works a treat
