Default Cos 4x4 brakes

Looking to upgrade my standard front brakes but not looking to pay the 1.2 - 2k for a new set of ap's.

Does anyone know if you can run foc rs calipers on a 4x4 and if so what discs are used.or any other caliper and disc combo that could be used from another car to upgrade from the standard set up. Best places to get brackets and any other parts that would be required.

Cheers

Could use std FRS discs 324mm, with the frs calipers and suitable brackets made up, I would speak to Martin@Reyland about these, sure he could help you out.
I also refuse to pay the silly money wanted, so went for tarox 6 pots, 330mm discs from me mate who upgraded to ex le mans car brakes 380mm 6 pots!!
