see above, im having no luck in general section!

 

Id get the calipers as well matey, better than the standard s1 jobs.

Not sure about fitment though

 

I'll be binning the series 1 calipers, and if possible fitting series 2 callipers (just as good as 2wd cosworth calipers (maybe not as good as 4x4 ones im not sure, but need to know!) with spacer brackets if possible on escos discs (same as 4wd sierra?)

Basically need to know what combinations i can use, ideally as cheep as possible (so hopefully escos discs, S2 calipers and spacer brackets

 

Think you may have your wires crossed there mate, the 2wd calipers are 4 pots and the 4x4 only single.

 

Might have mate, im unsure! hence ineed to know what calipers i can use with the escos discs on an S1 cheers

 

If you got the esc cos discs then you need calliper and hanger from esc cos or 4x4 sierra cos and the pads to go with it. I got away with using a 2mm washer between hanger and hub on mine. You can always use spacers and standard calllipers but you only use half the braking surface due to the standard pad being smaller in width.

 

tim10_10, Im told std s2 calipers are just as good if not better with cossie discs, thanks for the info! I just need confirmation that I can DEFFINATELY use s2 calipers and spacer brackets

 

2wd discs are the 4 pots yes, and will near on bolt straight up. You have to be seriously LUSHHH to have these though, hence why i do

 

Davie, iv got 2wd calipers with escos discs and using 15mm H&R Hubcentric wheel spacers. They work fine mate

 

i have focus rs brembos and std focus rs discs....on my s1.....what a nitemare it was tho,

the easiest conversion is the 2wd cossie disc and the 4x4 calliper, bolts straight on and NO messin whatsoever

you can use escos discs and 2wd callipers however you will need wheel spacers and spacers for the calliper to hub,

the other option in st170 discs and s2 callipers, fits nice just a little fettling going on tho....nothin major,

in fact you can use almost anything on anything now as ppl like reyland will take all your brakes and hubs and wheels and make em all fit together for about 130 quid

 

S1lee, cheers


biglee, Thanks bud, the whole idea was, get the discs cheep, get cheep S2 calipers, and spacer brackets, all for under £50 so would have a decent set up for cheep as chips


So if i want to use escos discs I need the wheel spacers?

Anyone know how much I can get 2wd discs for? I thought £90 for the pair, but been told around £25 for a side each at a motor factors

 

vroooom ptssssh: stop being a cheap skate i can hear you squeaking from here

 

as i said originally, 4x4 discs are wrong offset. just get 2wd + mike rainbird brackets with s2 calipers

 

safechav, The whole point is im skint and £50 for a decent set up then i'd do it.

ballin, And as i said. . where would you get a set of escos discs for £25? as far as im aware. . you wont get them for that price ANYWHERE infact, im led to believe they are £90+ NEW in the box. The whole point is, ive got not allot of £ to spend, and this was ideal. . if it's not possible, i'd forget it, but im told it is possible with some other parts.
