Cossie Brakes ...

Postby cheby on Fri Nov 11, 2005 1:14 pm

Hey all,

Recently got hold of a set of Escort 4x4 Cosworth calipers. I am looking at discs and pads. Been looking at Black Diamond and Red Stuff pads. Just wondering what other peoples setup is and what would be the best set up? Also will the calipers fit behind Escort GTi wheels?

Cheers

Chebypoos, red stuff are far too hard mate. I used green stuff and the disc temps were high enough with those (nice and blue after a bit of a session!).

I like the OEM discs, personally.

Yes everything will fit behind GTi's, but you'll need 5mm wheel spacers :)

Yeah that is what I thought about Red Stuff pads. I currently run green stuff on the standard setup and I have no complaints about them. Maybe Black Diamond Combi Discs with Green Stuff pads is the way to go?

Cheers

Another question ...

Where can I get a service kit to service them and is it easy to do?

Cheers
