do escort rst brakes fit fiestas, cos my brakes are crap atm.

[Jonezy]

are they the same as frst's?

[RS_Raz]

no. use cossie, ST150, ST170 or mondy V6.

[Jonezy]

bit late already bout em, i no there not much better but do they fit??

[Oranoco]

Honestly mate sell them, the stock ERST callipers are no better than the stock FRST/XR/Si stuff.

[Jonezy]

be better than my 1.3 solid disks tho wont they? and a damn sight more. i can brake with the engine faster than i can with the brakes.

[Jonezy]

either way cant afford cossy bits.
when av work the set of disks that come with these callipers, how easy is a 270-280mm disk conversion using the erst callipers

[si 16valver]

ive got some 4x4 sierra cosworth discs and calipers with mint pads for sale 200 quid the lot am located M1 JNC 33/36 if your interested

ERST Calipers fitted my WIP 2.0 Si... only bolted on ATM, haven't connected hydraulics (Car is OTR )... so can't comment on performance!
Should be OK ERST Piston diameter 59mm, 1.6Si 53mm.

ERST calipers are same as Sierra XR4x4
(the 2 litre twin cam NOT Cossy)

Bolt on swap... along with Mk5 130bhp XR3 260x24mm discs.
Calipers are approx 0.5/1.0mm off central over the disc which is good enough.

cheers, so your saying use xr3 mk5 disks and a couple of washers and it will work.

you 'casn' probably get one from ford for a silly price

[Jonezy]

same with the seals and valves. there on the callipers but i think they need replacing. tried loadsa places but none do them. any ideas or just go to fors for them.

[Reckless Rat]

should the disks that came with the callipers be 260mm.

Mine are 260mm (pictured in the post above)

For seals, service kit etc open the online cat here: http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/

When you found the calipers pick 'associated parts'
there's all sorts of service kits available!
Dunno if they're better priec than Ford though!
