Default Cossie 4 pot calipers

Quick question, do these need brakets/spacers to fit to the RS Turbo?

also, do I run Cossie discs or standard turbo discs?

Not 100% but i think you will need machine 5mm of the caliper lug/hub to get the 4 pots to fit.

2wd calipers are different to 4wd calipers?

2wd (4pot) needs 4mm machining off the lug.

st170 discs and mondeo calipers are a good cheap mod

As allready been said I machined 4mm off caliper faces and drilled and tapped hubs you need 283mm disks think that's what I used. Do a search mate its been covered a few times I think hope this helps cheers nick.
