Hi i have bean looking to put a rear disk conversion on my escort gti

now i have bean told that the rs2000 rear disk pads calipers and hup will swop over to go on mine is this true ?

1 more question is someone els has said that the 4x4 rs2000 will not fit my gti something about the 4x4 hass a hub and mine has a axel

so if im thinking right thier must be a rs 2000 2 wd witch also has the set up i want to put on the back of my gti

I AM CONFUSED WITH WHAT I CAN USE AND I CAN NOT USE AND WHAT
PARTS DO I NEED AND OF WHAT CAR

PLESES HELP

 

CAN ANYONE HELP ?

 

you cant use the 4x4 stuff.

you can use the 2wd stuff tho, but you will need the complete rear beam as the stub axles have a different bolt patter to mk6, unless you can find a mk6 rs2k rear brake setup.

if you can, you need

hubs/stub axles, discs callipers pads and handbrake cable.

if its all off a mk5 then you will need the rear beam aswell

HTH

 

thanx alot mate is it a dear job and alot of work ?

 

can get complete beams for around the £150 mark, hand brake cable is sub £20 iirc

pretty easy to change over too

 

If your GTI has ABS then you can't go the RS2000 route. If your car doesn't have ABS then it's a straight forward bolt on job. You'll need a MK6 RS2000 (non-ABS) handbrake cable and possibly (like I did) an upgraded master cylinder.

Some info HERE for the ABS conversion.

 

oh god its never straight forward is it

MINE HAS ABS

and im haveing trouble finding a rs2k 2wd

found some on ebay they all asking £200 and they wont post so a caria be £45 i feal the back going to get a good kicking ha ha ha

anything els i need to no before i take this conversion on ?

 

There's always disc beams for sale on http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/for...db&showforum=6 , but I wouldn't personally go that way with an ABS equipped car. See how much a kit from Pumabuild would cost.
