Ive got a 89 saph, and its been off the road while ive been rebuilding it, ive decided to uprate the breaks but im not sure what to go for, i have 17" kahns on it do i go 4pot 6 pot.
any makes and suppliers would be appreciated...so all help welcome .

 

depends on which rims you've got as to what you can fit underneath them really

so which rims have you got?

martin reyland of nuts rs do this sort of thing so you could try asking one of them

 

There Kahn RS-S 17" im sure a 330 dick would fit under them.

hope this helps to help me find what breaks to get...or i will just have to get different wheels to accomadate it lol

thanks

 

 

Tarox 6pts 330mm disc

 

Depends on BUDGET as well.
You could always get brackets made to use 325mm FRS discs with your calipers, which will give you a sizeable step up in performance due to leverage.

Where supplies these...can anyme supply some god websites ?

 

go throug PJ Motorsport..

www.pjmotorsport.com

but be prepared to wait as he isnt the fastest

 

looked on the sight can only find he ap 4pots for the 2wd saph ....

 

I would not touch Tarox, AP or Brembo are the way to go. Here's my number 0121 458 6010 call me if you are interested in a brake kit.. Ł1300 + vat 330 4 pots or Ł1400 plus vat 362mm 6 pots Both use AP discs and calipers.

 

Martin have you tried any of your kits under the CXN's yet?

 

Not under 7.5" fronts but have fitted 330 4 pots under 8" fronts.

 

thanks for the help... dunno if the 362 6 pots would fit under my rims, is here a way to use 6 pots and 330 disks ? thnks

 

Yes call for info

 

Although the FRS Brembo callipers are pretty good, the FRS one piece discs are not really up to hard use, as they are unable to adequately dissipate the heat from a 1250kg car. Even the Focus warps it's discs on track, so a reasonably powered Sierra would do the same.

Obviously if the car wasn't going to be used on track, then this wouldn't be an issue, but them again, the standard items on a 2wd are good enough for fast road use if overhauled and braided hoses, good fluid and pads used, so you don't even need to go to the expense of that.

If you were going to use the FRS set up, then you would want the AP two piece brakes like Christian has put on his Escort RS Turbo - but then it's not a cheap option any more.

Brakes are a tricky thing to get right - doing it half way usually ends up with having to pay out twice (I found out the hard way on my own Sapphire all those years ago ), so always best to save up a little more and get the ones that will do the job in hand.

 

how about these kits i keep seeing about useing evo brombos & two piece 330mm disks. are these any good for a 400bhp road saff?

 

ive got 7.5inch on mine and i had to use a 4mm spacer to clear the caliper

 

Ok thanks fella will give you a tincle this afternoon

 

As long as the disc is of sufficient quality and that you use suitable pads .

 

What calipers FRS are use? 2-pot?

 

Four-pot Brembos.

 

i run a compbrake 350mm kit using Brembo calipers

Not as cool as AP's but a good cheaper option
