Default Simple question, 2wd sierra cosworth front discs to s2 rst. how?

I am pretty sure i have std front discs bend and fucked because brakes shaking steering wheel.
Where i can buy some brackets for sierra cosworth 2wd front discs & std rst calibers?
Do these fit under 15" std rst alloys?

hi
hi spec sell the hole kit brackets/bolts/washers/discs
have you checked the rear brakes as the adjusters sieze and a knackered wheel cylinder causes braking shudder and poor braking ,worth a try/elimination

237£ + cargo to Finland sounds pretty much to me? 260mm Std discs cost something like 50£ here so i think i will choose them if that conversion is that expensive choice, i do not have knowledge to sort myself those caliber spacers and washers. And for my brake problems i have reconditioned front calibers last winter and completely new rear brakes.
Cossie brakes are pretty expensive too, because those arent direct fit.

Thanks! That price would be ok. If i order these brackets, is this completely bolt on conversion. So i order these brackets, go and buy patten cossie 2wd front discs and install those?

hi
you can fit 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs they are a direct fit no mods needed i have seen them go on ebay for about £100/£130 + post
and beleave me the hi spec set up needs spacers and a bit of filling off the rst caliper
also with cozzie brakes its 2 bolts and hi spec 4 bolts plus drilling the hub out if your not to good with these things cozzie brakes is bolt and go hi spec aint
