Default RS turbo s2 brake calipers same as XR3i ?

Are mk4 xr3i brake calipers the same as rs turbo S2 ones?

I believe the rear drums and disks are different between the 2 models but cant find any info regards to the calipers.



Cheers

S2 front brakes are different to the other mk4 escorts. Discs are 260mm and also the calipers are bigger with a bigger piston. Also the pads are bigger than the others.

I plan to use 14'' wheels so rst set up is about the max.

I beg to differ. I had 14" Orion Ghia pots on my 4 door turbo years ago and had no problems.

Already posted a thread about this and ''apparently'' they fit fine. Someone even proved it with a picture
