Rear brakes need:
2wd Cossie disks and calipers
Con version Bracket
RS2000 handbrake Cable!
Cost, i say around £250, depends on where you get all the bits from etc, etc
Yes you can put cossie brakes on front need 2wd cossie disks and 4wd Calipers, or get a bracket and use the rs calipers!!

You will also need a bias valve or 2. You will unbalance your brakes set up and will have problems with the rear brakes locking up.
A RST does not need rear discs!!

As said - 2wd front discs, 4wd calipers. Go straight on, and will fit under standard rims (just) but you won't be able to run stick on weights on the inside of the rim - it's that tight but they do go on.
Rears - as said above. And they all bolt straight up, just make sure you get the brackets to mount the calipers on the rear hubs.

when i've braked the back end starts to whip out at high speed, was told rear discs cure this problem as it is due to one drum catching before the other, surely it is worth rear discs for this alone as well as the looks.

My cabby turbo has a burton power rear disc conversion, its improved the stopping power tenfold but still locks up under very heavy braking and the rear end trys to meet the front end SCARY! Ands thats with an ARP bias valve.Need to do some tweeking me thinks! Would recomend the burton power kit though, comes with every thing u need in one box. Only thing u need to order separate are the bolts that secure the caliper brackets to the the stub axel. The heads are mechined down so they dont fowl the back of the hub.
