Default 4wd cossie uprated calipers (4pot)

hi, does anyone know if its possible to get a pair of 4pot calipers that fit standard size disks (i.e under the 15" wheel)
Not fussed what brand they are be it hi spec, ap, wilwood etc

The reason i say this is because ive got a mk1 fiesta, have 15" wheels and currently run a bolt on setup which consists of mk5 rs2000 discs, and 4wd calipers. I just want a bit more clamping power ,plus they tend to look alot better and i need as much braking as i can get........

think it all depends on your wheels.

iirc you can run 300-315mm on 15" wheels depending on the alloys so you can have ap calipers with that size.

standard 2wd saph 4 pots fit if you machine the mounting lugs down about 3 or 4mm
you can buy a set off the bay for about £100

I have just fitted cossie 4 pots to my s1 you need to mill 3.75 off the caliper, and the bolt holes do not line up, you also need to space out the s1 wheels by 15mm. buy the time I paid out for these, i would now go for the hi spec bolt on jobs, also i dont know regarding the mk1 fiesta, hope this helps, good luck!
