Im thinking of fitting ST170 brakes to my series 2 turbo which will be pushing 300+bhp once completed. Will the ST170 brakes be up to the job or will i need something abit more hardcore. Any other suggestions on brake options welcome.

id think the st170 stuff would be ok tho, think hoe heavy the st170 is compared to the rst

into u can uprate discs and pads on the st stuf

I run th eST170 setup on my S2 and they are the only brakes I've not killed. Superb imho

You'll need 16" wheels to fit these. The ST170 setup pisses over the cosworth brake conversion. Such an awesome brake setup to be had for not alot.

Like Oranoco I ran 260 bhp on them and they loved it

^ I think Cliff S1 can vouch for my slightly aggresive driving style as well.

I think that is decided then...ST170 setup for me!

Any mods needed for this conversion?

iirc it just bolted straight into place. Need at least a 16" rim to fit them though

Brilliant...i never liked the pile of washers i needed for my Cossie set up. and rims wont be a problem as im replacing my standard 15s with a set of 16inch MOs.
