Big disc upgrade for 2wd Cosworth !!!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I am not sure you will gain much by fitting bigger discs with the standard calipers.
This is what I have on my 2wd Saff and they work very well.Mine are the Hi-Spec kit but there are lots of different set-ups from various companies.

standard 2wd calipers can be made to fit 325mm discs or was it 300mm cant quite remember now but you will need to space the calipers to suit. I do have the spacers buried somewhere in my garage but should be quite easy to remake as its just a small cylinder type of tube

Cheers for the replies, The only reason I was thinking of using the original callipers is due to the fact I already have them and if there was a simple bigger bolt on disc upgrade it's easy.
I'm trying to keep a factory spec disc for ease of replacements, cost and keeping it simple. they are going on my convert Escort RS Turbo, not going full race spec car or anything like that so wanted an upgrade to match the rear 4x4 brakes I already have.
I do like the look of the E38 callipers and Focus RS disc, the callipers do look very similar to a set of Porsche Brembo's I have already.
Cheers again.

I used a pair of mg tf ap 4 pots with st170 300mm discs to fit behind a 15" wheel on my capri, calipers are around £200 a pair discs from £50 a pair depending which ones u want, brackets need to be made but nothing that's hard, pretty decent set up for not much money.

It says standard callipers but the discs are 30mm, the calliper gap is only 26.5mm

Mine have alloy bells.
Got them through Mike Rainbird back in the day!

That kit does have belled discs, pic is not the correct discs. Have you got any pics of yours fitted.
Did you have to modify the callipers in anyway or are the disc still factory 24mm thick???

What about the copper pipes that link both sides of the calliper together won't you have to extend them if you space the callipers apart?

This is from capri sport he normally has the calipers to but cannot see them on his site at the minute.
Here's the discs and spacers etc.No calipers in this listing.

Martin I'm saving for an Ap 6 pot kit and always wondered why you have to pay extra for a red calliper? It's not just you who does this, you can buy wheels in different colours free of charge but AP's are extra?
Just curious.
