Default cossie brake conversion

should of really asked this question before i ordered them but hey lol, bloke in the shop told me they would fit easily behind my standard s1 road wheels, but are they actually worth the money and will i see a big improvement in stopping power.

they are cossie 4 by 4 black diamond grooved and drilled discs with 4 by 4 calipers and fast road pads.

appreciate your feed back cheers peeps

Yes they fit, and yes the difference is huge. Just remember to do the rear also, or your brakes will be really really out of balance.

No, the other way around. You need to beef up the rear breaks to match up. There are many possibilities for that:

Fit larger rear drums from S2 or any sierra with 9inch drums

Replace the standard rear brake cylinders with the 22mm units. Cheap as chips.

Rotate the deceleration pressure limit valves to a more stand up position in the engine compartment

Do the rear disc conversion

Fit adjustable brake bias valves
