cossie rep Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 At the moment i cant afford the £800 or so, brake disc conversions so was looking in just getting some 300mm+ original discs, but they are all thicker than the 20mm that are standard on the escort. I have read the conversion guide but, i am as thick as 2 short planks and dont understand a couple of things. Spacers, how do i make them and where do they go?Would i need to use the bigger caliper that goes with the 300mm discs or can i use my standard caliper?and is there any other modification that is needed?

jp Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 just thought id say you can buy these conversions from Hi Spec motorsport thats where i got mine ive got 283mm discs with brackets and new pads for standard calipers and i think it cost £280 not certain though wot size wheels you got, u sure a 300mm disc would fit as i know the 283 mm disc the minimum size wheel you can for it is a 15'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossie rep Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 as far as i know you can get 335mm under 18". But i really would like a larger caliper too. But do you have a picture of these discs and pads that you have jp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
