Default mk5 RS2000 Brakes

Hi there

Can any one please tell me what else uses the standard front brake callipers as a mk5 escort RS2000 ('94 L) as ive cabagged one (OSF), and cant find one anywhere.

Ive been to the scrappy and tried almost everything. They different to other mk5 escorts with ventillated discs, ive tried mondeos sierras, granadas, vans.............

The bigger cars use the same size piston but the caliper body is much bigger (Would these fit? Anyone tried?). Ones with the right size body have small pistons.

Do escos have single piston calipers as i might be able to get a set?
Will they bolt straight on?
Would cossie 4-pots go on?

Any and all help very greatly appreciated

Many thanks

-W

thanks for that! probably not a bad idea as im wanting to use the car for the track. do you konw if the st170 kit fit straight on or will I need to get spacers brackets etc? trying to do this on a bit ov a budget as the rs2000 isnt my only toy.

have you tried this?
