Hi mate,make sure youre brackets are designed to work with rear Cossie disc's,as some brackets are for the rear XR4i disc's!!!Regards Micky

 

mickey ill find out when its too late probably, lol

 

so can i use cozzy rear calipers ??

i might be looking at the wrong ones ??

 

Mines got golf gti calipers

 

yes i seen that piccy already , why did you choose veedub parts ?

and in case it got missed, can i use rear cozzy calipers???

 

can i use cozzy rear calipers or what ??

 

read the post

 

i did read it it says cozzie 2wd calipers , so that means front or rear ???

or dont it matter , excuse my ignornace , dont laugh at it

 

its the 2wd rear disks and calipers you want

 

Any sierra rear calipers (excpet 4i) as they are all the same

 

I think you will need the S2 rear brake compensator to get
a good balance in front and rear braking. With rear discs
the back end will brake a lot heavier than before.
Especially under heavy braking the light rear of the MK3/4
will have a tendency to go first without your permission

A friend of mine had to install special balancing equipment
to balance his racing MK3 under heavy braking

 

Hi there mate,
When i converted my escort cabbie to rear discs the hand break used to stick on. this is due to the mk5 hand brake cable.
The horse shoe shaped piece of metal under the car on the mk5 cable is bigger than the one on the mk4 and there for wedges its self in the tunnel under the car and makes the hand brake stick on. so remember to use the horse shoe off the mk4 cable and u will be ok. Just thought this may be worth u knowing!
