Hey all, just wondering what the biggest brakes you have seen fitted behind Esc Cosworth wheels?

I have just sourced some Fiat Coupe Brembo 4 pots but dont know if I should use the ST170 300mm discs or the 324mm from the FRS...

Any one tried to get 324mm's behind Cossie wheels?

Thanks all

Speak to Reyland as to what discs he sells that will fit

Reyland does a 308 mm kit with the original calipers for the Escos, so I gues that is as big as you can go with the standard calipers. With other calipers it's probably not very different, so I doubt the FRS discs will fit. The ST170 discs are 24 mm thick and the FRS 28 mm, which is also something to keep in mind. I guess the Brembos will be intended for 28 mm thick discs.

Ok perfect, might just buy a set of Fiat discs as they are 305mm and 28mm thick and 4 stud which I can redrill to 4x108....just need to make sure the offsets are right

What car are the wheels going on.

bassboy

Should have mentioned!!! Its actually for a mk2 Orion, which may get Escort Cossie wheels

Probably...but if you have seen any of my projects I like big brakes behind open spoke wheels lol

The calipers are purchased, just need to find a disc solution, when they turn up, ill try them against the ST170 disc and take it from there....was wondering if you could potentially get a 324mm disc behind the Esc Cossie 16 wheel...currently I have 300mm ST170 setup behind 15inch S1 RST wheels

Are them brakes you have now tight Behind the 15s. I had st170 discs and mk3 mondeo calipers on my old puma and they were behind standard puma 15s. I had to shave the calipers a bit for them to fit.

bassboy

Same in this situation buddy, they are very tight but they fit...syaing that, ill be going up to 16's when the car goes in for paint hence buying the Focus RS Brembo's

I remember in one of the old fast ford mags a orion on es cos rims, looked mint! can't find the pictures now though

bassboy

They do look amazing on Cossie wheels! This will actually be a spare set of wheels for the Mk4 van and the Orion...I like the thought of being able to chop and change as I feel lol

This looks amazing IMO

Now that does look very nice! Can't beat an escort van especially on them wheels.

Yeh escos wheels suit them. Imo there isn't many Ford's these wheels don't suit.
