Default Complete Saph 2WD brake conversion on RST

Hi guys,

I'm doing a complete brake conversion from a Saph 2WD onto my RS, ie 4 pot front calipers plus rear disk conversion. I'm pretty sure the standard RS master cylinder isn't going to be up to the job of pumping that much fluid around so I want to fit the servo, master cylinder and reservoir from the Cossie as well, plus run new stainless / braided lines throughout and scrap the RS ABS. Has anyone had any experience of fitting the Cossie servo / cylinder, how much work will be involved apart from fabricating a new mounting bracket?

I'm running that exact brake setup - 2wd 4-pots up front, and 2wd rears, and have no problems with my standard M/S,

The Mk5 escort master cylinder would be a better option if you did want to change it, they have a larger diameter piston bore,

yeah you dont really need to change the master as its well up to the job,your only changing the calipers and discs and pads so there shouldnt be a problem,other than that yeah id maybe consider a mk5 master>>
