Default Pictures of My Cossie 4x4 rear Brake Disc Conversion

Hi guys I have just collected every thing needed to do a cossie 4x4 rear brake disc conversion, here are some pictures let me know what you think and this is how much I’ve spent on parts.

Brand new genuine Cosworth 4x4 callipers £130
Brand new 20 groove vented CRN brake discs £70
Brand new EBC greenstuff pads £40
Brand new Conversion Brackets, Bolts and spacers £30
Brand new Goodridge braided rear brake pipe £32
Brand new mk5 RS2000 hand brake cables £28

Total £330

And at the front I have

Tarox G88 40 Grove ventilated standard size discs.
Standard size Cailpers painted in Gold & EBC Greenstuff Pads
Front Goodridge braided brake lines
ABS system removed

Picture of the fronts



And these are the cosworth 4x4 rear brakes












As I left the garage I used the brakes gently and straight away I can feel the differents at the back feels a lot more stronger than the rear brake shoes that I had removed, I’ve kind of almost used the brakes to it’s fullest and do have to say it brakes perfect well balanced with the fronts and with no locking up, so the new rear standard ford compensator valves that I had fitted last year do work well and no need for upgrading to the bias valves here’s a few pictures of them fitted I’m well pleased of them what a result.

nice brakes, but get rid of the ebc pads as they are shite! get some mintex or ferodo pads, had green stuff ones on my old s2 when i bought uprated brakes, done 300 miles with em and they were shocking, fitted mintex pads and 300 miles later they were twice as good as the ebc ones

cheers kev
