Hi all just a quick question i have just bought a set of 2wd Saph calipers and will be recieving them shortly, but what i need to know is do they fit behind escort gti 15" alloys.

pics would be brilliant

Thank you !

2wd onjes dont fit, wrong offset

[heeman10]

You would need to machine them a bit I think. There'll be plenty of info on Passionford.com, bit busy to hunt it out for you at the moment I'm afraid.

[beanyfrst]

So they will or wont fit !!!!!!!

Seeing as you're clearrrrrrrrly too lazy:

I saw just call R&B Motorsport as they deal with the fitment of 2WD brakes to ERSTs, so see what Mike says about fitting them to the Fiesta.

Thank you

Had a brows on that link, but doesnt say out bout the 2wd calipers going on the fiesta. Any news peopl will these fit on my FRST or not any idea's. Reply's more than appreciated

Regards

I THINK the ERST are similar enough for us to say "What will fit an ERST will fit the FRST", but I'm not sure. Mate, there are LOADS of people on Passionford who could answer it. I saw someone selling spacers which allow the 2WD calipers to be fitted to an ERST just now, so get in touch with him, or just ask on the forum.

[beanyfrst]

Have put up a question on passion-ford thanks heeman .

one guy thinks they will go on but need to be sure

[beanyfrst]

okies while on the subject of these 4 pots does anybody have the e-mail addy for hi-spec brakes as i looked on the site and could not find one


Regards Beany

I'm 99% sure that 2wd cosworth brakes can be fitted to a erst with 4wd discs but not a fiesta. You will need 4wd calipers on a fiesta.

Also i fitted cosworth 4wd brakes on my fiesta but had problems getting them behind my gti wheels as they caught the spokes. To get them to clear i had to fit 8mm spacers which made the car scrub in the arches and wasn't safe so i had to change the wheels.

[beanyfrst]

Deos anybody know what the differences between the fiesta setup and the escort set up are tho people

[BUTRE]

2WD 4pots calipers can made to be fit in a FRST.

I'll post picture of it latter. Got to run now!

[beanyfrst]

I would really appreciate the picture of the cossie 2wd 4pots on a frst mate. Where did you or this person get the pats to complete the conversion thanks and very kind regards to you mate

Here is a close look at the 4pots calipers on the fiesta


I saw part of getting them into the fiesta and can say its a pain in the ass!!! What I remember is that you have to bolt the caliper into the hub and not the other way around like std Fiesta and Cossie calipers. The discs need to be machine to fit. Spacers need to be use if you use 15" ET40 alloys. Alot more was made to fit this little baxtered and... is it worth it? yes, BUT you need to setup the entire braking system with a braking bias valve. Bake padel gets a bigger travel and if you mod your rear setup from drums to discs.. oh well braking the fiesta will be a pain and a new master cilinder is needed.

I would say that using just the escort cossie front 278mm discs and calipers and keeping the std drums is good enough braking power for the fiesta... unless you have 1ton of ICE in the back

I take it that the escort gti wheels are this offset

What master cylinder do you need to use do you know

Thank you for the pictures matey

[BUTRE]

The braking on this fiesta is not yeat fully sorted but pedal travel will always be huge. I read here at ft.com that you can upgrade the master cylinder to a escort mk5 one slightly moded.
Anyone wants to comment on the escort mk5 master cylinder?

Offset is your only enemy!

Yeah do it

Solved all my pedal travel problems after upgrading to Mondeo V6 fronts and granada disk rears

[beanyfrst]

So if if i upgrade my brakes to cossie 4 pots you would recomend changing the brake servo to an escort mk5 one. What sort of a job is this to undertake you'r self any reply more than welcome
