yes mate.Had them on my s1,now got them on my fez. There was a massive difference between them and the standars rst items.look ia it this way,if they haul in a cossie they are gonna stop your motor as when its stripped out,it'll weigh almost half a cossie.get some grooved discs and some uprated pads and you'll be laughing

cheers for that mate...
if theres that much of a difference over standard rs items...then cant wait to see the difference over standard 1.3 brakes!

Have never driven one with standard brakes on - but the cossie ones are good for me.
We even put standard non-grooved/drilled cheapy cheap discs on temporarily to replace branded grooved items and they have been fine, even on track lol

the one to do is ST170 discs and mondeo mk3 / focus mk2 / mk1 st70 calipers.. min wheels 16 tohugh, breaking power is immense
its best to upgrade to a 3i/rst mastercylinder as your pedal may not feel so great with the the 1.3 one

2wd Cossie 4 pots will NOT fit under standard S2 wheels.
NO WAY
NOT EVER
No matter how much you grind out the back of the spokes/legs.
Thanks
Jake
PS- I tried it so I know.

yer there 4x4 calipers and 2wd discs.
my mate had them under his 15" comps so hopefully they will go under 15" s2 alloys...
i didnt realy want to spend much to be honest as its like a budget build, but had the whole cossie front brake setup ready to fit for 60quid...realy cant grumble with that!
do i need to drill the hubs out to 12mm? he did but that was on a ka....

standard
Cossie 2WD discs and 4x4 Calipers.
fits fine with standard 15" RS Turbo alloys.
all you need is a few 1mm washers to space the calipers out.

yeh much better over standard brakes. but then i did upgrade the brake fluid, lines and pads all at the same time.
no drilling required. all you need is the washers and it just bolts up.
