As above?

 

4WD cossie calipers will probably be better than standard sierra calipers.

Depending who is selling them as to the price.

 

How much better i ment

 

They're only really better if you use the car to it's limit. I was very happy with the standard brakes on my Sapphire cossie, and only changed to AP 4 Pots after I'd done a few track days and found out what brake fade was all about. For the road, you'll be fine with the standard brakes if they're in good condition. On the road, they're perfect, ........ On the track, you'll realize that they can be improved on.

If you search hard, you should be able to pick up a pair of 330mm AP 4 Pots for about a grand..... Second Hand, but in VGC. Or about Twelve Hundred Quid for a new pair.

They really do hold their prices, even the good second hand ones.

 

Better than what...lol.

Standard sierra like a diesel one

O and this is for a v8 turbo stockcra so need to fit under 13" wheels and have limited budget

 

as long as the disc is bigger then i suppose they have to be better.

Could buy grooved discs and decent pads,these will improve the performance of them.

 

right I had standard XR4x4(standard on S2's) brakes on my car for about 2 weeks ofter the 24v was put in. The fooker would not stop put cossie 4x4 disks and calipers and much better, but still shit on the track.

 

Is this front and back? If not cossie 4x4 anyone knoe of a cheap alternative? Under 13's?

 

You wont get front or rear 4x4 brakes under 13 inch rims.

 

13 Inch..............Arghhh

 

Don't think you will get them under the front wheels!

 

Bigger than standard sierra brakes then? I feel some technical trickery coming on here for the front anyhow! Are the 2wd Calipers better than 4wd?

 

yes, bigger wheels.

 

But cant afford to keep buying bigger slicks i dont thik when 11by 13" are only a tenner!

 

You don't buy them every week though.

Bigger wheels,bigger brakes.

 

I use 1 or 2 a fornight or

 

@ Dave

 

Lol would it handle better on bigger wheels? like 15", problem is i already have 30 od racing slicks and wets in 13"

 

My car runs 13" rims and the AP set up all round fits in them nicely



keep a look out for a single seater brake set up as most use 13" wheels

try racecar.co.uk or racecarsdirect.com

 

Where are the brakes? the sus set up you have is basicly what i was going to buil, make!

 

think i might end up with normal brakes with good pads and discs will cossie fit under rear?

 

You cannot see the discs and calipers as they are deep inside the wheel, but a decent Ap set up based on single seater kit will fit in a 13" rim

 

basically if you want better brakes under 13inch wheels you'll have to look at competition spec stuff, nothing from the ford parts bin will fit.

 

Would it handle better on like 15" youthink, might just be on the front
