Rockerrob666 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 spotted these on ebay, just wondered what people thought of them, are they worth a punt? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-MK-V...id=426113679246 http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o720/rockerrob666/Project%20Satan/KGrHqRjQFCel7lEBQ5NQrhSw60_12_zpsb81c18f4.jpg instead of just closing it, why not give people a chance to correct the error, or at least edit it to correct it? bit harsh! but here it is done properly as requested!

hicksy Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 You will be better off spending your money on getting bigger brakes, you could use the 260mm set up from an RS2000, the 278mm from a mondeo, or the 300mm set up using st170 discs and mondeo mk3 calipers You will get better brakes doing that than spending money getting fancy 239mm discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Those first discs you linked to, I would suggest would be prone to cracking. Don't forget the 300mm conversion needs 16" wheels, I would consider how much your budget is and think about a brake fluid change, braided hoses, caliper refurb, ds2500 pads, black diamond combie discs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockerrob666 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Gonna just paint them and slap em on when I get them, as is. come the new year I'm going for blackdiamond combi discs, Black diamond Predetor pads and some braided hoses with a fluid change when I'm doing the hoses. tbh I was just looking for the cheapest upgrade poss as current braking is a lttle shite, until I could have afforded a decent large disc conv. thats why I was looking at these frisbees, but your prob right in that they'd prob crack as soon as I touch them. Found a set of RS2k callpiers and discs on Fleabay for £22, can't argue with that! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390513538864?ssP...984.m1439.l2649 don't worry, sorted out courier myself and paid less than half the price on the postage. gonna clean them up and give then a paint, get them on and take it from there really. Question As these are mk5 rs2k callipers will my standard mk6 hoses fit them? or will I have to get a set of mk5 hoses?

Hkr91 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You can get some 15's on Mondy calipers with 300mm ST discs - just have to shave a little of the caliper. Don't forget you need the carriers too. I had to buy a spacer kit when I installed mine on my MK4. Some people just said to use washers to add a bit of gap but if its worth doing, its worth doing properly. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESCORT-RS-TURBO-...=item2a26b403e5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hezz Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 i think mk5 and mk6 hoses are the same dont spend much on the rs2k setup, mondy mk3 calipers and st170 disks are cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
