Yes we all know they are rubbish as standard

But what is the best way forward in getting better brakes on
a budget.

i've just been offerd some xr4i calipers and disc's
do they fit?

if not what other options are their?

any comments welcome as i don't know what option
to go for.

Thanks

Mark

 

They are the same as S2's so yes.
If you had an extra £100 get a set of brackets (£40) off Clint Gaskins site
which will allow you to repostion your S2 callipers and install
285mm 2wd Cossie disc's (£60 any car accessory shop) which will totally transform your brakes.

 

I HAD 4X4 COSWORTH CALIPERS AND 2WD DISCS ON MY S1 AND THE BRAKES WERE SHIT HOT COST ME 60 NOTES FOR THE CALIPERS EBAY AND 35 NOTE FOR SOME DISCS FROM A MOTOR FACTORS

 

Did you have to get any mods done to mount the calipers or do they go strait on?

 

YEH U HAVE TO PUT A 1MM SPACER IN BETWEEN THE HUB AND THE CALIPER ON THE 2 FIXING BOLTS I USED A WASHER

 

The S2 caliper on bracket set up, sits higher up the disc than the 4x4's do
which provides more torque/braking effect. Have a look at www.turbosport.co.uk for a more in depth explanation
