What cheap brake upgrades for the Mk5 RS 2000 are there? My mate is after some better stoppers, but does not want to spend ap or brembo £££.

I seem to remember 4x4 cossie discs and callipers are a bolt on direct replacement??

Do ST 170 discs and callipers fit?

any other ideas ? [/i]

 

ST170 discs and calipers can be done easy mate, or some ST170 discs and mk3 mondeo calipers (cheaper than the ST170 ones)

 

any more info mate?

i think that should see you alright mate

 

 

they are all good upgrades from what i hear i havnt got round to trying them for myself but huge AP's just look so much better even if they do cost about as much as a mk5 RS2000

on my own rs2k I used to warp discs all the time, I felt that the brakes were ( as with most fords) wank and let a great car down still got your 2k Alex?

 

ST170 brakes will cost abit aswell
