I have £500 to spend on a brake upgrade on my sierra Saffy cosworth.

Any suggestions?

The only requirements are that I don't have to faff around making brackets etc and I don't like Focus RS brakes...

Any help apreciated!

Personally i'd double your budget and get ap's.

 

That will take me another 12 months to save up then!

Big wheels or standard size wheels? What do you have at the moment?

focus brembos & discs mate, work a treat

 

I've got a set of 996 turbo front calipers here - i'm sure Reyland could knock up some mounting brackets and advise on discs!

 

Were are you mate,is the car 2wd or 4b4 ,lambchop off here has some for sale

whats wrong with focus set up.got mines brand new for 250 quid then brackets from andy g for 80 quid.bargain in my eyes.

 

What about willwoods? i know people rate aps ect but for your budget you might get a set
I had the 310 kit on my mk1 escort and i could not fault them,did loads of track days ect they were more than capable of stopping me,only problem i had was they sqeaked like fook when driving steady in and out town ect

 

Because they sit on a silly angle??? and look wierd IMO

 

Mine is 2wd and I live 17 miles from Bristol or Gloucester....

 

I have 17" Comp MO's with standard 4 pot cosworth Brakes ATM.

 

Would concider them 2BH , been looking at rally design and what they have to offer

 

Wait till you have enough for a Compbrake kit, full 335mm kit will come in under a grand.

Heres half the battle already , and Brand NEW !!!

 

Don't forget that you can gain a large performance improvement from using a very good pad material from a company like Pagid or Ferodo. A very good set of pads will be nearly £300. If you are after looks then obviously that won't help.

 

I have willwoods perfect might sell them as my engine went bang and might need some cash to repair.

 

sorry to hi jack this thread but what disks do you use when using focus rs calipers??

cheers,
Phil

 

i think the focus rs discs aswell, just need the brackets to make the cailper 'fit'

 

evo 8 callipers, i paid £300 for front and rears (already had usable pads in them)
focus rs discs, paid around £100 for them
braided brake lines, will cost about £50 max
brackets will cost you around £50, but VERY easy to make as all holes are in line

you need to mod the calliper a bit with a grinder, but nothing that will affect them
