Aren't the 2wd Cossie 4-pot calipers mounting holes different? I'm sure they are imo.

2WD cossie 4pots calipers wont fit straight away on the fiesta.

Its better to suit them under 16" alloy because under 15" you'll need to bolt the calipers directly on the hub and since the threads are wrong drilling and new threads need to be done. Also, brake discs need to be custom cut.

Needs some custom work to suit but in the end is well worth it. :)
Master cylinder is no good for it thou.

here a pic of my mates Rickfiesta 2wd cossie 4pots calipers under 15" alloy.

Hi there,

sorry to drag up an old thread, but I'm looking for more info on fitting 2wd 4-pots to a Mk3 Fiesta.

I've seen this site http://www.rsbible.co.uk/ where the guy has fitted them to a S2 Turbo by machining 4mm off of the calipers.

Would this be enough to fit them on a Fiesta? Are the S2 Turbo brakes a direct swap onto a Fiesta?

Ohh... the questions!!

Paul :D
