2wd or 4x4 Cosorth Calipers???
I have been offered a set of front brake calipers for a cosworth. Only problem is the guys who is selling them doesn't know if they're for a 2wd or 4x4. I require a 4x4 set.
How can I tell??
All help apreciated.

I once heard that the original cossie four pot was a shit design, and the fluid would get too hot where it crosses the edge of the disc on the way to the outer two pots, causing boiling fluid in the crossover pipe (During hard use) and spongy pedal 
Anyone else heard that or am i chatting shite?

For the life of me, I couldn't get the wording right on that this morning 
Steve - no.....
although many people believe that's the case (probably because 4 pots sounds better) ....

And it's pad area and clamping forces, and also disc size has a part to play.
