Brake conversion
Alright all, I've used the search bar but got nothing really so thought I'd ask. I have a 2wd Sierra cosworth and wanted to know what's the best brake conversion. For the front.
I read something about focus 300mm st discs and mondeo mk3 calipers +12 mm spacers. If this works is it st170 discs or the later st focus?
Any other options /opinions are welcome.
Cheers in advance

That upgrade is nice for a standard 2wd Sierra, but not for a 2wd Cosworth. It won't be a direct fit because the disc offset on a Cosworth is slightly different and the bolt threads for the calipers is on the hubs on a Cosworth instead of on the calipers on a standard Sierra. If it would fit the gain would also be very small. The discs are only 17 mm bigger and you go from a 4 pot caliper to a single pot caliper.
A better upgrade would be 324 mm Focus RS mk1 discs with 4 pot BMW E38 Brembo calipers and some brackets that are on ebay for that conversion.
