Some good quality standard discs and pads should be good enough for most RSTs. What do you currently use? What condition are all your brake lines in?

Why bother with the cossie stuff when you can get ST170 stuff from a scrappy and use that with 12mm spacers and slightly bigger bolts.

It pisses all over the cossie conversion.

Trust me

Seriously, the link posted by Alex_86 above was to my cossie conversion, and I must say now it's bedded in I am far more than impressed with it! It stops well, and the feeling in the pedal is much stronger not weak ass and slowly going lower and lower. But then perhaps the new lines and the bleeding also helped that!

Highly reccomended.

Also you can run them under standard RST wheels filling them nicely

When I am home at the weekend I will have a butchers on the internet to see if there are any scrap yards with a set of caliper in stock.

Send me a pm on Friday morning and that'll remind me to look around.

@ dave

Just a pic of my disc and bell I sometimes run under my 15's



Think thats a 300 or 305 can't remember lol

Only put them on when Im getting pasted by the competition, otherwise it just uses normal stuff

Being disc and bell its lighter so reduces the un sprung weight

Dont leave them on because it dosnt need it all the time and I like my £14 standard discs because they are cheap
