cheers

i am concerned if the 4 pots will catch on the spokes due to different offsets / wheel design , i know in theory it shouldn't as the caliper will sit 4mm further away from the wheel on the escort but just want to make sure before i buy any

2wd calipers do not fit behind standard wheels. See the sticky at the top of the 'rs turbo' page for a guide to cossie brakes.

4 pots will only fit behind s1 wheels with some fairly sizeable spacers, otherwise as said they catch the back off the spokes.

Not ideal

Get some 4wd calipers and use them with your 2wd discs, a LOT easier to fit aswell

looks like i am going to have to but i don't like the idea of spacing out calipers , anyone know where i could get some shims made up instead of using washers to space out the caliper ??
