Default Trying 2fit 2wd cossie 4 pot calipers on 2 my s1

Hi does anyone no anybody that has done this conversion?

As i have a set of calipers off a 2wd cosworth have thought about putting them on for a while,but a few people have mentioned a problem with clearing i wonderd if this was true as i have a set of 16" and wasnt sure if this made a diffrence?

Any info on any addidonal brackets or spacers needed would be great.

Please help.

you need to get 4mm machined off the inner face of the mounting lugs,also you will need to some banjo fittings for the flexies cos they come in at a different angle!
