Cheap Braking options?

[sortedford]

Right, looking around it looks like different people have gone different routes.

I was going to go for the standard RS2k route, but then im thinking ST170, but the cheaper route with the newer Mondeo callipers?

Basically i want to be able to pick them up in the scrapyard.

Stuff like Willwoods for £200 are out of the question as id also like to remain with Ford parts

Transit connect, its been mentioed they are the same part no. as the ST170

 

Looked fairly big to me when i had a look last week.... 5stud for the stock discs tho

any idea which engine varient?

[plumber60]

all varients

 

They're all 1.8 TDCi, 77/90/110 iirc

 

Most likely though would be the LWB versions

Mondeo mk1 and 2 V6 brakes dont cost too much, can get a set for £30 from my local scrappy....

 

Mondeo mk3's are starting to get more common in scrappy's too.

Just looked into it... it seems the L, LX have the same brakes in both SWB and LWB versions however the basic 'van' in SWB has different brakes

got my mondeo mk3 calipers off a breakers up in leeds off ebay for £78 delivered, so thats quite cheap, just depends on what make discs and pads you go for i ended up payin £150 ish for the ford st170 discs and ford uprated ferodo pads , but the calipers did come with pads and the cheapest discs i found where £24 each Apec, so you could do a 300mm upgrade for around the £100 mark if you dont want uprated bits Edited August 11, 2007 by SaMMy125

I bought 2nd hand mk3 mondeo calipers, new carrier bolts, mintex disks and mintex pads £120 delivered

 

But if you want cheaper, mondeo v6 with new disks and pads £60

were they new discs and pads , and i bet the discs where 5 stud for the mondeo, the 4 stud ones are twice as much just cos they go on an ST ffs lol

 

how do u get the mondeo v6 set up sooo cheap mate

[ScORTED]

if you've got halfrauds trade you should be able to get escos discs for about £50 then a bit of shopping around on ebay will find you pads for about £10 - i'd say the ST setup if a bit better but then you'r stuck needing 16" wheels as a minimum, whereas you can fit 15's over the cosworth/v6 setup
