mk2 gt Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 who knows what other brakes i can get that are better then the sedan that will bolt up to my escort estate, i know i can get the 9'' drums for the rear (if they will fit in the wheels) but what can i get to bolt up to the front? also what is a good reasonably prices brake booster? as mine is semi buggered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 ghia/sport up front should be sufficient. recon the booster, about $40 for a kit from BNT/partmaster apart from that, AP/Sierra/cortinas setup but you gotta fuck with mount holes/offset/brackets depending what you use what you got now for callipers/disks? type16/243mm?

sholdowa Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (inch drums on the back and vented 2.8i capri disks on the front is good. Not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Even try the standard calipers and disks with some decent pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Even try the standard calipers and disks with some decent pads. Absolutely. The vented disks just keep them working a bit longer. You're still on the same calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WESTCORT Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 austin princess 4pots? bought mine for $180 with a rebuild kit included. bolt onm apart from getting a t fitting for the brake fluid on each caliper. people go on about them being heavier but i have m16 calipers in my garage aswell as ap4pots and the weight is very similar.
