Hi guys, I'm buildign a mk1 fiest acosworth and am trying to convince myself to bin the sierra abs setup and get a nice pedal box, bias bar and remote servo instead.

I've not had any experience with brake setups on a cossie other than 1 that had a remote servo (the guy crashed bigtime due to locking up and maybe a bit...ok a shitload of speed) fitted.
I had a 3dr a while back that had a later 4x4 abs setup fitted (As it was 4wd) and It was nothing but trouble with sensors and controller always packing up.

the car will be a monster and I intend to use it mainly at weekend and on trackdays...



SO what setups have people used/seen/heard of that I could possibly use.

Cheers
Dan

 

most of us mk1 mk2 escorts owners just have a bias peddle box and some decent 4 pots and discs thats it

 

So now is the grey areas question...........do i need a servo or not? I plan to run std 4x4 rear calipers on a 300mm disk and 330mm big 4 pot brembos up front.... but i've not got legs like this


So would a servoless setup be ok on the road with my intended caliper/disk size?

you dont need a servo, trust me my legs are like chickens legs and i manage to stop my cosworth mk1 escort no probs

 

great, any idea what masters I should be using front and rear?
