Hi all. Im building a zt to put into my mk3 rs 1600i the car should be around 400bhp and was wondering if my brakes will be up to the job of stopping it?
The brakes set up I have now is..
Front = cosworth 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs
Rear = cosworth 4x4 calipers and vented discs
And a mondeo servo & ms

I want the car to look completely standard on the outside so that was the best I could afford that'd fit under standard wheels but will they be ok? The car is only going to be for road use.

 

You can get AP's that fit under 15's mate from Reyland, I;d be running those with 400 horses

 

Yes they will be fine. Unless your going on track then its a different story.

 

Iv seen them but there a bit out of my price range at the minute, im still getting over the cost of Christmas and the tax man has just bent me over! Plus bills bills and more fucking bills! Lol. But once im sorted I think il be looking more into them they look the best bet for fitment under the standard wheels

 

Im going to take your word on that! If I crash its your fault! LOL. But like I said its only going to be a road car.

 

the mk3 mondeo caliper and 300mm st170 disc fit under the std 15's i think. A little bigger than the 4x4 discs.

However I'm unsure what difference there is in the calipers?

 

lol i was running mondeo calipers and 2wd cos disks on my cortina which is heavier and running 330 bhp.
Best is to try and upgrade later if required.

 

i ran frs gear under some 16's, took a lot of fiddling to get them under though.
so mondeo 300mm stuff should fit, i'd even try to get pug 406 brembo 4 pot calipers and mondeo 300mm discs as an option if you fancy a little work and not a lot of expense.

 

I thought the brembo calipers had no chance of fitting under 15" wheels?

 

They won't with frs discs, but I'd be confident with a smaller disc.
406 ones use a smaller discs and pad.
Just thinking spread aloud, i got told i wouldn't get brembos and 324mm discs under 16's but i did.

 

any pics bud , I need some 4pots for under my 16s

 

Click link under sig, might be a few pages back.

 

What about mk3 mondeo calipers and ST170 300mm discs. Ive got these on my Pooma under 15s with a bit of modding to the calipers

 

Are they much better than 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs?

 

its askin me to make an a account bud

 

Erm yeah, there's one on here too, might be a fair way back though.
