1. what are the differences between xr2i and RSTurbo brakes (front and back)

2. (not strictly related to this forum but it'll make it easier :P ) What size wheels do RS2000's have (mk5 i think the wheels are similar to RS1800 only bigger)

3. if i lower my car 60mm on the above wheels will i need arch work?

and finally...

4. i'm in need of a nice (cheapish :bonkers: ) exhaust for my 1.1 nothing to loud and about 3" outwardly rolled anyone got any recomendations

I think the front brakes on the RS and XRs were the same, but the RS had bigger drums at the back. Don't quote me on that though...

Well, all the XR's either had parts of the brakes missing or they were just rubbish :lol:

Do the XR2i's,RS's,Si's and 1.6S all share the same brakes?

And what will I need to get from them, is it just the calipers, disks and pads or do i need to replace any of the pipes?

Cheers, Ju :)

there are only calipers for solid discs (10mm) and for vented discs (20mm) for the fiesta mk3 at the front, so any caliper from a vented disc model is the same
