Default cossie 2wd 4pots on s2 help

i have just bought a set of cossie 4pots for my escort and was wondering if this is a straight forward fit? unsure on the discs i got with them but guess they would also be 2wd ones.

i have bn told there is a little prob with wheels clearince? im running a set of 17" voodoos on the cars.

hope some of you guys can helpme out

alright fella ive done this on my series 2. you need 4mm machined off the caliper mating face then you need to tap the hubs. if i remember rightly i used 283mm discs. look on the rsbible website all you need to no about this is on there, nick.

I did this conversion on my old estate and put up a quick how to in the 'how to upgrade to cossie brakes' sticky at the top of the page.
You shouldnt have any problems with 17 inch wheels i managed to fit them inside a set of 15inch steelies.
