To be honest with cossie upgrade you won,t notice much difference.You need to upgrade to big calipers & discs to notice.
I upgraded to FOCUS RS BREMBO,S to stop my 2s.

Would definately not agree that cossie brakes are no better than standard! I've got 4x4 calipers, standard discs and ds2500 pads and it stops way way better than it ever did on standard setup!

yep,cossies are better thn standard esp. for brake fade and not warping the discs, braided lines are piece of mind really,rubber ones perish and can burst,the braied ones dont

my old s2 had standard brakes but it feels exactly the same.
not 100% the exact conversion. i know i had to get rs2000 mrk5 handbrake cable lol

Are you meaning you've just done the rear conversion, just get that impression from what you're saying about a different handbrake cable? If so you may be right, rear discs won't make your car stop that much better imo.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
rear brakes conversions are pointless tbh unless ur running monster brake but even then they are not essential my rstate is running 1.1 drums on the back and rs on the front and it stops dead on a penny
