The worlds your oyster on that one mate!!

 

With them wheels you can go for a quite a big set up.

 

One of my mates Mk2 Cossie use's Hi-spec 4 pots on the front with the alloy bells but can't remember the disc size. (He's running 15" wheels)

 

The rear has fiesta discs and granada calipers both with mintex pads and a bias box and that stops better than my scooby!

315 willwods on the front with green pads from rally design/burton £900 ish

braded line make your own theyre easy, cossie rear setup.

What size braided hose???

 

The rear atles has fitting welded on of mk3 escort caliper

 

Is the cossie rears the same

 

I've looked at wilwood 4pot calipers

hi spec 6pot calipers

compbrake 6pot calipers

 

And was looking at fitting a 285mm front disc

x drilled and vented ?

 

It's a little bot of a pain as I have only fitted brand new parts to the car I don't want to start using used parts on the brakes

 

I can have the brake lines made to my spec just don't know the ID of the braided hose to us.

 

And wanted to know what ur guys have fitted as

1 old skool ford members have been a big part of the build of the car

2 you guys knows what works

3 didn't want to fit a kit and 1 it don't stop or 2 it just locks up everytime I hit the brakes

 

It's just I only had the brakes

and radiator to finish

I will be running master to handbrake master to rear calipers
