cossie rears (soon to be replaced i think) guessing at 200 sheets

 

Full 2wd setup
4 Pots on the front

Bought it a couple of years ago, paid about Ł350 for the whole lot, inclusive of 2 front hubs with driveshafts, complete braided brake lines to replace the standard ones, and a near on brand new servo.

Cossie 273mm Rear's.
ABS Removed

 

FRONT:FOCUS RS Ł300 .... REARS:COSSIE Ł150

 

Front ... cossie 2wd duscs with 4x4 calipers...

standard rears!

braided lines all round.


very cost effective conversion matey!

 

300 mm Discs with standard calipers on the front and a cossie set up on the rear

 

Front cossie 4x4 and rear 2wd cossie discs. bout Ł350 in all with plates lines etc!

 

Rob you dont need a major upgrade for the power you got, Just bigger discs and a good pad set up,It'll see you well enough for 200bhp

AP 315mm on the front and Cossie 2wd 273mm on the rear. Stops like fook!

Focus rs front conversion ,focus rear disk conversion,probably cost Ł600 for the lot

 

260mm fronts with standard turbo calipers

253mm non vented rears with sierra rear calipers.

Stops like fffoooooooooooookkkk !

Front discs cost me about Ł14 each

 

Same here - about Ł300 all in I think mine was.

 

im gona be havin 4x4 callipers all round with 2wd discs up front.


what do u need for st170 front setup?

 

i know dude just wondering wanna get bigger front

 

I heard from sum1 thaht has st170 set up on 1 car and cossie set up on another that they prefer cossie set up...


make sure if u do disc conversion on rear u get bias valve...

or u cud end up with dangerous brakes

 

Mine are fine

 

yea i found that sum ppl disc conversion ok...

u still got ABS on?

 

Nope.

 

hmmmmmmmmmm... wonder y sum ppl suffer with it and others dont...

we talkin bout rear disc conversion by theway???

 

 

 

oh yea cool...

yea im not sayin st170 aint gd... they must b gd or they'd b removed... but i was told he prefered the cossie brakes...

wierd how sum ppl have probs with lockin up n sum dont even tho they dont use bias valve...

ne1 no y?

 

I have rear discs with ABS and dont use a bias valve

 

do they lock up under harsh breakin matey?

 

Weight transfer

 

Nope, never felt the rear end locking up, even jumped on the brakes on a wet road and it braked in a straight line

 

hmmmmm... not sosure its weight tranfser.... mymates car stripped completly...

still does it!


wierd....!

 

Can he stiffen his front suspension ?

As he brakes its possibly transfering weight forward..... thus lifting the back and losing traction... try it with 2 people sat in the boot

 

 

In answer to what im having,


Brembo 4 pots, 330 discs, BMW 325i rear setup

 

volvo 4 pots up front

crap drums on the back

 

I still have the rear load compensators fitted.

 

Focus ST170 300mm front conversion
Standard rear.

Stops nicely. The rear brakes do so little of th eoverall braking effort I see no reason to dick about with the setup.

ABS has been filed away in the bin as well

 

will b takin my ABS off soon to!

 

I use this


this


quite a bit of this


and a whole load of these




I find this set up particulary effective in the wet!


Hope this helps
