For the 2.0 litre conversion I need to upgrade my brakes.

WHat options have I got?

Will mondeo brakes go on?

[scotty_boy]

id go cossie 4wd. 280mm single pots. if its stops a 200+bhp cossie...

otherwise you've got RS2000, 260mm single pots.
cossie 2wd, but these need work, but are 4pots.
escort cos. think these are the same as 4wd ones.
ST150 brakes. updated Es Cos brakes i suppose. similar spec.
then big bucks upgrades. willwood, brembo...etc.

i think excursion or someone did a focus RS brake conversion. they were sexy

Cheers Scot.

I put this up without searching, but after searching now i've found loadsa stuff.

I think I mite go with either.

4x4/Rs2000 calipers, but not sure if the discs will fit? WOt ya reckon?

Or I mite get some standard mondeo calipers or V6 ones, and get some grooved/drilled/vented discs.

cheers

like i said id get cossie 4x4 ones. should fit most 15" wheels, not a bit of machining will sort out any rubbing

the RS2000 brakes are ok but i wouldnt consider it worth it, when for say £50 extra you could have bigger and better brakes. if you're changing it why not go as far as you can while you're messing about changing them. there's normally quite a few sets of cossie calipers floating about.

mondeo V6 stuff is ok, but i think you need to machine them to get them to fit. and grooved discs will wear your pads quicker.

for cossie calipers you'll need a 5mm spacer plate making up and you will also need 30mm 10.2 tonne spec M10 bolts for them. 8mm bolts arnt good enough. isnt there a guide in FAQ? not sure. haha.

cool cheers mate. I won't have a problem with bolts as my dad sells nuts and bolts with his business!

I wouldn't say you definately need to upgrade your brakes with the 2.0L
For 3 months I was happy with my greenstuff pads, they were fine, you only noticed a difference after a few very hard brakes, then you'd have fade...

...the way I think of it, I was still travelling at the same speeds as with the 1.6, just getting to them quicker...

...and an RS Turbo has 240mm brakes just like me Si did...

ive got the cossie 4x4 front discs and they look GREAT!!! plus you could always put the rs2000 rear axle on then you can have the rs2000 rear brake set up aswel. i dont know how much this all costs tho cuz i brought my car with them already on.

go for the cossie ones
