Is anyone using these on a Escort/Fiesta at all! I have a MK5 RS2000 track car which i use the FRS Brembo set-up on but since fitting these with 17s etc a few trackdays ago the car feels very front end heavy and handles s**t so want to go back to 15's again! Just wondered if its a bolt on job using the 283mm disc's or a load of messing about fitting brackets, spacers and modding calipers etc as with the FRS's

 

I had them on mine, they were a fairly simple upgrade, not to much messing about, iirc, had to drill out the hub to take a nut and bolt to bolt the calliper on, different size bolts !! cant remember, and just make up the brake lines. it worked ok, and fitted under a standard wheel, but that was a while ago now and the grey matter isn't what it used to be. !!

 

iv got them on my s1. not driving it yet but to do it i drilled hub to accept bigger bolts that cossy calipers use. face about 4 mm off the escort hub or caliper carrier..... basically offer up the caliper with disc and ul see it doesnt fit, so hav a ook and think and ul figure out why u need to shave some hub down... and how much. i also rang a company that makes the braided hoses for this upgrade wich includes normal fitting to metel brake line but a banjo type end at caliper side (when fitting u need to put the brake line on before bolting caliper up as no clearance, becomes clear when doing it) but after all this u then need spacers to adjust the offset (depending on the wheel chioce as mine were fwd but escort cos wheels might be fine as already have correct offset for brakes)

think thats about it mate. i no seems long but only a few things to ake on board n becomes self explanetry as u go along!

 

Thanks for replys il see if can get some cheap and see what happens

 

I have some spares already machined 4mm for an rs turbo, not sure if a 2000 needs the 4mm lopped off though?

 

I don't think I machined anything off mine !!
