Default rs 1600i

I have a mk3 rs 1600i that had a break conversion before I had it. It has 280mm discs on the front that I think are cossys but with standard callipers with a bracket to make them fit (badly) could anybody tell me what callipers I would need to fit these discs and would da cossy callipers fit the bolt holes on my 1600i hubs thanks.

They sound like cossie 2wd discs and you need cossie 4x4 calipers to go with them. Should fit mk3 hubs aswell as mk4. Some people need some washers to sit the caliper correctly in line with the disc some don't seem to.
I didn't on mine. Think that's all that needs doing but it was a long time ago I did mine

Not familiar with d.a. motor sport tbh.
The calipers you need are the single piston cossie calipers which I believe are off a 4x4 saph

Hope that helps

Yep, 283mm disks are from a 2wd Cossie. You will need single piston 4x4 Cossie calipers (Escort or Sierra) or something that is designed to fit standard disks on a 4x4 Cossie.
