Default Brake conversion S2, what 4 pots will fit from other fords??

Hi there I was wondering what other calipers and discs would fit from other fords that would improve braking? Preferably without to much bracket messing etc. Best would be straight on original brackets and still fit under standard 15" wheels??? Any help is as always appreciated...

std calipers using 2wd cossie discs will go under 15's. Cheap and effective.

2wd disks will go straight on but you need brackets to raise the calipers up to fit properly! the brckets are £30-£40 from mike rainbird

wouldnt he be better spending the money on bigger calipers? get them off a saff cos or a granada? £40 for brackets seems a bit steep to me to keep rs calipers on.....but there again i bought mine with the bigger calipers already on there so maybe i dont know what im talking about?
