As above please peeps

Can i buy a set of calipers off of another car (like a porsche or something) and have them machined or buy conversion brackets or spacers.

I have std 4 pots for the cossied p100 but i dont think they are going to be good enough for 400bhp or will they?

Thanks

 

I would like to know the same, but the only decent option I have found would be the second hand parts from the breakers...

 

Off the top of my head didnt the Peugeot Coupe and the Fiat Coupe have brembos as standard.Worth keeping an eye out in the scrap yards.I seem to recall as an upgrade you can use Focus RS calipers and 300 discs ?.
I may also be completely wrong .
I refurbed my calipers and went with dimpled/grooved and red stuff pads.I am still here

 

Now many donkeys you got running around under the bonnet fella? Thanks for the info

 

I would like to have upgraded brakes too, but costs restrict as would want to do on both cars

 

Not as much as you
Mine was maxed out on aT3 and greens.I think I was wrong with the size of the discs.

Have a search there is bound to be lots of info floating about

 

the peugeot and fiat brembos use small pistons, use bmw 728 brembos with caprisport brackets and focus rs discs. did mine for under £200.

 

BMW E38 BREMBO's CAPRISPORT brackets with FRS disks bud

 

E38? Got a link for the brackets please? Thanks for the info

 

Mk1 FRS is that?

 

Yep bud and here's link for brackets

Caprisport sell the calipers with brackets NEW for £300

 

Thanks mate! I could make them if i have the sizes on the CNC machine

 

theyre only about £40 new. mk1 frs discs 324mm.

 

If you was too make them you would want too make them 1-2mm thicker

 

do they not quite sit over the disc central?

 

you can make up the kit yourself or buy it ready made

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cosworth-2...item4ab903316c

 

When you buy them you need to use the spacers to space it out 1-2mm

 

Seems a bit stupid, like you say they should just make the bracket thicker.

 

Exactly bud, but they work also they have gone up in price I bought mine month or 2 ago and they were twenty something quid

 

How about 4wd??

 

So whats the improvement like? Is it a big improvement on the std 4 pots?

 

I have the following which could be made to fit easy enough

New 330 mm discs and 4 pot brembo calliper with new pads it currently is a rear kit but wouldn't take much to make a bracket so they fit the front £450

 

What gains are theses conversions off eBay over standard brakes?

 

Christ! What do you have on the front?

 

Evo brembos can also be found cheaply

 

Can use Mk 1 Focus RS Brembos n discs on the front with an adapter bracket with 4x4 rears. Have a set of calipers and brackets that I can sell.

 

Oh wait for a second hand set of APs to come up .. Cos they do from time to time mate.

 

Just done the E38 brembo conversion and it works well and cost me about. 180 so far and just need some spare funds for some new FRS disks and the jobs done

 

So thats the three door to be sorted.
Still unsure on the 4x4 Sapphire?
Can I use focus discs and bmw calipers?

 

what cheap options are there for 4x4?

mark

 

Looks great matey
Is yours a 4x4? (sorry cant remember)
Want to do my 3 Door Cossie and Sapphire Cossy with these

 

The words "cheap" and "brakes" in the same sentence makes me cringe.

 

I know ap racing are the best option but taking a higher performance option from a usually heavier car is still a good upgrade from stock, calipers from BMW will be good quality.
Cheap doesn't always mean shoddy. Focus 1 piece discs are also good quality but not as good as 2 piece ap discs but a hell of a lot cheaper.
Cheap can be good but obviously not as good as ap racing setup.

 

2wd Jase,not sure if brackets are available for the 4x4

 

Damn, my Spph is crying out for bigger brakes under the wheels.
What is the main difference why they wont fit?

 

ring caprisport mate and talk to Neil

 

I've got some BIG 4 pot brembos off a jag xkr-r in the stores!

 

cheap as in £200 for a set up that gives 90% of the performance of a £1200+ set up.

 

are the focus discs 2002-2005, and do you need to have some brake pipes made up or do the standard ones still fit
