right i cant seem to get a straight answer on this so thought i post it here

its for a brake upgrage on my s2

are saff 4x4, ecos, granada cossie and mondeo st24/200 front brake calipers all the same

i bloke i spoke to had v6 mondy calipers over cossie discs on his mk2 orion said the fitted ok (he was using 4x4 discs with spacers to get on the discs rather than 2wd discs)

though as 4x4 dics and 2wd discs are roughly the same size (3mm difference cant remember which way round tho)

that surely one of the v6 model brakes will fit on 2wd discs on my hubs just as 4x4 saff calipers would

i ask simply because v6 model brakes are easyer to get from a barkers yard

 

on a fieta every one uses them because all you need is a 2mm spacer to make the alipers fit, so its easyer, and cheaper

 

its for my xr3i tho. i no u need 4x4 discs on fiesta as apposed to 2wd

 

anyone?

 

mk3 mondeo or new shape mk3? focus calipers and st170 focus discs
300mm discs just need to space the discs out a little

 

mk2 mate

that not rely an answer to the question lol wont be using st170 stuff

need to know about the mondeo and granada stuff beging the same as 4x4 cossie stuff

 

Im lost as to what your trying to do but here goes...

Calipers

Mondeo '00 ->
Piston Bore 57mm, Disc Thickness 24mm Type BOS
Will also fit:

Mondeo 2.0 4WD 95-00
Mondeo 2.5 V6 ESTATE 96-00


Mondeo 2.5 V6
Piston Bore 60mm Disc Thickness 24.1mm Type ATE
Will also fit most Mondeos 93-00 with ATE not Lucas calipers


Saff 4x4 (same as ATE but not Lucas XR4x4) With ABS
Piston Bore 60mm Disc Thickness 24.2mm Type ATE

This caliper will also fit
Escort RS Mk3/4
Scorpio EXC 2.9i 24V
Sierra 2.9i XR 4X4

Escos
Piston Bore 60mm Disc Thickness 24.2mm Type ATE
(so will fit the above)

Granada (covered by Scorpio above)
But some have Lucas calipers on so watch out.


So your Escort if its an RS already has a 60mm bore 24.2mm caliper so where's the upgrade other than a disc swap ?

the larger diameter of the disc's gives greater leaverage and works better at high speeds.

 

its an xr tho everyone says thats its better with cossie/mondy calipers with bigger discs as apposed to rst calipers on cossie discs

thanks that tech info was very helpful

so i have to avoid lucas calipers

the cossie/mondy calipers are taller so allow u to use a larger diameter disc,
