Standard RST brakes will fit (not sure if they will under the orig pepper pots though!
Its only gonna got you about Ł70 for the calipers and however much disks/pads are!
There should be a BIG improvement in braking.. if you want to go further... you could use RST caplipers with spacers and 2wd cossie disks

MkV Escort RS2000 discs and Cosworth 4x4 Front Calipers - all bolts straight on but you iwll need 15's to clear the discs.

I was think 4-pot but bloody expensive. I think i'll investigate the 4x4 caliper route.

Cheers Guys
