Scorpio ones are the same, so keep a look out on eBay, refurb kits are cheap, so buy a Scorpio set for £60-80 and rebuild them for say £40!

Front discs fitted on the rear of a Cossy are going to look rubbish, the pad depth is way deeper on the Focus so the Cossy rear pads will only work on 2/3rds of the disc, the rest will go rusty and look poo. I guess you get what you pay for!!!!

Ive got the reyland 300mm conversion on back of my 4x4 saff, but the inside is rusty because all the disc isnt touched by pad. Is there any other calipers i can fit which will touch the whole disc? Or can they be powder coated or anything?

How old is that kit???? Very early versions were bought in but I wasn't happy that all the disc wasn't been used so I developed my own version.

Hi martin, what i was planning was the rear focus st170discs and some granada calipers. I would love to spend the money on your kit but i got a mortgage to pay and need to prioritise.

Could i use granada calipers with your rear kit?

Are Granada calipers the same as 4x4 Sierra/Escos? If so they will fit with any kit that requires 4x4 Cos calipers
