Hello im getting some new brakes and might fit my old ones to my bro's escort turbo, do they go straight on and if not whats needed

Cheers

Pretty stright forward fit I think. iirc a couple of spacers are needed to make the caliper sit right over the disk but that's about it

 

You need:~

2x 4wd cossie front callipers
2x 2wd cossie front discs
4x 1mm washers/shims
2x extended braided brake lines

Oh and don't forget ya pads

 

if you mean the 2wd 4-pots i think they need 8mm maching off the mounting bracket

 

The 2wd callipers are toooooooo much hassle, go the 4x4 calliper route

 

some info here....

I've got the 2wd 4pots on my series 1.

You have to machine 4mm off the inside face of the caliper and put a 90 deg union or banjo union connector on them to miss the drive shaft.

I've tarox 2wd discs and pads and they're unreal! Can just about get back end in the air

Be warned: these DO NOT fit behind the standard wheels because the calipers are just too big.

ive got 2wd 4 pots on my s2 with 285mm alloy bells and dont think theyve had any machining off them

 

i got 2wd discs with the standard s2 calipers with a bracket to hold the caliper, dont know where the bracket was bought though as they were on a car that i stripped, they work alot bettr then standard size though

 

So will the 2wd 4 pot calipers fit under standard S2 alloys? im not sure weather to got for 2wd 4 pot ir the 4wd calipers, which ones work better?

 

dont think they will dude

 

have got 2wd discs and rst calipers on mine, black diamond discs mintex 1155 race pads, bit noisey but stops on a sixpence. you need disks and mounting brackets, you can get the brackets from hi-spec motorsport for £66 all in. you can get them on 01322 286 850, they also do kits which includes discs, pads, brackets, braided hoses ( a must for peddle feel ) and brake fluid for around £300

hope this is of some help
