i used the early xr4x4 callipers and discs with a mk 5 rs2000 hand brake cable no trub with brake bias but i have 4x4 cossie callipers and 2wd discs up front dont know about with standard fronts but if you still have these you need to uprate anyway if you want youre front end to stay intact

The cheapest and easiest way is to use 2WD COSWORTH calipers and discs.The GRANADAS had exactly the same rear brakes and are more likely to be found in a scrap yard.
You will need. 1.COSWORTH 2WD CALIPERS
2.COSWORTH 2WD SOLID DISCS
3.COSWORTH 2WD PADS.
4.LONGER BRAIDED FLEXY BRAKE HOSES
5.MK5 RS 2000 HANDBRAKE CABLE.
