Default cossie calipers on a s1

i have some 4 pot clipers of a sierra cossie, with brake lines,
can any one please tell me what it takes to fit them and if they
will fit with standard rs turbo alloys on, i did have 17's on but
took them of as the scrubbing was unbearable.
cheers

Don't grind any off for christs sakes! It needs to be machined!!

Get it milled off, 4mm.

More details here www.chardcars.co.uk

Your S1 wheels won't fit though
