Ive got a full set of 2wd cossie brakes gonna fit the fronts this week i know how to do it as ive done it on my previous S2 but that had escort cossie wheels on will the 4 pots fit under my 17"OZ Supperleggeras without having spacers?

 

I've got 4 pots under my RST with super leggeras without the use of spacers.
Just the 4 mm shimming of either the brakes or hubs or some of both.

 

Should fit ok

 

4pots should fit under 15" wheels shouldn't they??? 283mm cossy disks and 4pot callipers fitted under the standard wheels on the sierra lol

 

its the depth of them though not the diameter, my cossie wheels just about go over my cossie 4 pots, but series 1 wheels and series 2 wheels wouldnt fit over, not because of the diameter but how much the caliper sticks out, they were rubbing on the back of the spokes, it depends what offset wheels you use too. i'v got tsw hockenheim's on now and they just about clear them.

 

Does anyone know for sure what 15inch ford wheels will fit over the brakes???

 

how do you fit the calipers with say the 4x4 discs .... as i want a set and will they not fit under standard s1 wheels

 

Mark, seems you should use 4wd calipers if you want to use standard wheels. I have 2wd calipers fitted which are fine with 17inch Mo's but I want to run 15's for the strip and with the 15's I have acquired from a R reg escort finesse they catch the caliper. At the moment I'm thinking spacers and possibly the grinder. But just wondering if anyone knew if another type of wheel fits. I'd use steels if they fit!

 

Pug 205 gti due to low offset

 

Blasphemy!

I'd sooner space and grind. But thanks anyway

 

Lol don't grind the calipers being potted not sliding. U can get 300 mm st breaks under standard mk5 zetec s wheels that have the best spoke clearance of any Ford 15

 

ok well to be honest i need the best brakes you can get behind standard s1 wheels as im going to run a 280+bhp cvh so need to sort something as the standard brakes are shocking lol

 

Try fiesta st 150 . There 280mm. Got a set in the shed to of the wifes st. Running 300 on hers now

 

might be worth a try mate.... ive been told that all 4 stud fords apart from 2wd cossie are the same fitment so should fit nicely......

could be worth us having a try and hows the bonus coming along

 

Collecting bits still lol. Decided I want to run it with out a body kit. Ordered new silks and inner rear arches. Smothed the boot and welded new lower rear quarters in.

Going to run a 6speed box now, just need to decide on what lump.
Got boxxers old frst to play with now aswell.

Making alot of cnc bits for it to. Want pillowball top mounts ect.

I got them arp main bolts that are no good to me now as it won't b cvh

 

wicked mate i have a friend thats got a focus rs engine and wants a grand for it and comes with both manifolds and turbo and ib5 box and rst lsd fitted.....

if you fancy it you could do the six speed to my cvh if you want lol....

and i want some fancy cnc bits

 

Steels do fit only just but they do fit



you can just make them out poking out in the holes of the wheels

Mark.

 

Xrmalin; thanks, that was just what I needed to know/ see. What are those steels off? Mk5/6 escort 15's yeah?

 

Mine are off a fiesta fusion and yeah there 15's it is very tight on the wheels i can just get the end of my finger between the caliper and the wheels

mark.

 

We need to talk mark. Pm me or grab my number of Chris. Hmmmmmmm. Turbo lol
