i know that there are several ways of doing this for both front and back. What have you done to your series 2???????????? whats best at what cost?

 

personally,ive renewed the lot,

rear hubs+carriers,shoes and cylinders,springs and clips,
handbrake cable,

recon calipers,black diamond discs+predator pads,
copper lines,and full set of goodridge,new brake servo.

master cylinder was fine.

stops ok for up to 190 bhp .

 

Ive got a full 2wd set up:
4 pots on the front
disc conversion on the rear.

I paid Ł350 for the lot, came with all discs which were literally new, new servo, master cylinder (although not an RST one ) FULL braided hoses to replace every steel pipe on the car,front hubs with shafts and shocks, rear hubs, got a good deal it would seem

 

i was thinking of maybe using the ST brakes

 

From what i hear its supposed to be a good way to go, especially if you want to run standard rims, the downside with my 4pots being i cant get smaller than 16's on.

 

I got rear disc conversion and am using Focus RS Bremo 4 pot calipers and 330mm discs.

 

I've left them alone

 

300MM Focus ST170 Front's.
273MM Cossie Rear's.
ABS Removed!

Stop's well

 

ST170 gear is the way to go on the front imo...very good value for money and a decent disc size...I used to have them on mine.

2wd cossie set-up on the back [with a Bias Adjuster!!!!]

 

People that have converted to rear discs,do you have to diconnect the ABS?If not how many of you have done it anyway?

 

Mechanical ABS is shit, most people remove it from standard cars purely for this reason

 

 

cossie 4x4 all round costs fook all from a breakers

 

is the cossie 2wd rear discs solid or vented??

 

Solid

 

cheers
