Default 2wd Cossie Brakes on S2 ERST

Im trying to get my head round this upgrade to the S2.

I have a set of Sierra 2wd Calipers with 4mm machined off the mounting face, plus a 283mm Sierra 2wd Brake discs & pads.

Im reading through the Sticky thread and its getting confusion as its jumping between 2wd,4wd,st170 etc.

So i guess its just a matter of drilling and tapping the hub to m12 bolting everything up and bleeding the brakes plus by the looks of it to keep the standard S2 alloys will need a wheel spacer to clear the caliper.

any help would be great.

Sean

I'm certain from memory that the 2wd calipers require you to use 4x4 discs.

going by the sticky thread, which is hard to get my head around. Still hard to say for definite.

Surely someone reading this can say one way or another.

I had another quick skim read of the sticky and that's how I get it.

I can see it both ways.

On Page 5 going by the pics of the brakes on the mk4 estate he says further down that its the 2wd disc.

so still no 100%.
