uprated brakes on xr4x4 2.9i - advice needed
 

does anyone know the easiest way to uprate the brakes on above car. i have given my son a 3dr cossie shell and he will be fitting 2.9 4x4 running gear into it for now due to cost of cosworth gear and insurance. the discs etc aren't the best i've seen on a car so will need replacing. he intends to use 15'' cosworth 3dr wheels so this will probably dictate maximum disc size but what about calipers etc and will i need to change mounting brackets. also with uprated brakes will the abs system still work correctly. lots of questions i know but any advice will be appreciated.

theres a few options, mondeo calipers st170 disks,focus rs brembos or cossie calipers.

I have a xr4x4 2.9 and its running cossie 4 pot brakes and they are more than good enough

Cheers Matthew

do these fit the same discs and will different brackets be needed

you can bolt 24v granada ones straight on with cossy 4x4 discs
