Default S2 RST Brake Set Up's

I was just wondering what sort of set ups any of you guys prefered and/or had good experiences with.

I'm currently using standard caliper and cossie front discs but as these are starting to warp i was thinking about changing to a different set up any body got any ideas?

I dont really want to blow a fortune as the car is really only a back up to my cossie which i'm currently rebuilding.

i use 4x4 calipers n discs, but ya best bet is the focus ST170 set up

300mm discs and brand new calipers for bout £300 off someone on this site (mite be gadget)

u will need 16" alloys tho cos they wont fit behind 15's

mucho better than the cossie set up
