any better?? for escort s2

i got fully upgraded cossie discs and brakes.

but i really cant tell the bloody difference atall when braking to when i had my old s2 with normall brakes and drums.



sum1 sed when my car was on the ramp how my car would brake much better with BRAIDED HOSES?


what you think???????????

 

yeh i agree

 

i answered on your gd post

 

To be honest with cossie upgrade you won,t notice much difference.You need to upgrade to big calipers & discs to notice.
I upgraded to FOCUS RS BREMBO,S to stop my 2s.

 

i would only replace the rubber hose for braided as in the pic
(goes from calliper to hard copper pipe)

 

cheers lads. 2 out of 40 odd. not bad

 

Would definately not agree that cossie brakes are no better than standard! I've got 4x4 calipers, standard discs and ds2500 pads and it stops way way better than it ever did on standard setup!

 

yep me to cossy are far better than standard

 

yep,cossies are better thn standard esp. for brake fade and not warping the discs, braided lines are piece of mind really,rubber ones perish and can burst,the braied ones dont

 

well i dont understand why i cant feel eny difference.

my old s2 had standard brakes but it feels exactly the same.

not 100% the exact conversion. i know i had to get rs2000 mrk5 handbrake cable lol

 

Are you meaning you've just done the rear conversion, just get that impression from what you're saying about a different handbrake cable? If so you may be right, rear discs won't make your car stop that much better imo.

 

it was done before i brought the car

 

is all down to how well you bleed the breaks

 

i think if u used them hard a few times and notice how much longer they take b4 they fade compared to standard

 

rear brakes conversions are pointless tbh unless ur running monster brake but even then they are not essential my rstate is running 1.1 drums on the back and rs on the front and it stops dead on a penny

 

mixed opinons.

some people say its pointless and makes no difference

some people say i should defo feel the difference therefore there could be a problem
