Avenga Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We have a member over on the Avenger forum who is doing an SR20DE in an Avenger. Avengers are quite similar i.e they have the same stud pattern etc as the escort. For upgraded brakes we use a BMW vented rotor with a Volvo 4 pot Caliper. I have done the same mod on my Avenger and it is pretty easy to do so I think you should be able to do the same on an Escort. Here is a like to my mates SR20DE Conversion. http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.ph ... 80#msg4180 And here is a like to the brake upgrade I did on my Avenger. http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=295.0 This is the 4 pot Volvo caliper I used. And this is the brakes all setup with the BMW rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Capri vented discs and Austin Princess 4pots with spacer from palmside is the only bolt on option as far as I know, has been used for decades and works ok. Is heavy though. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 theres a tech article on here to. //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=9053 got a project build started on here? most things girling will fit. standard escort type 16 calipers and vented discs should work pretty well though? and cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-W-G Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hey weds Just saw this thread. For the front either princess, volvos or if you want it on the cheap get better pads for the m16s with capri 2.8i vented disks. There is always m16 wilwoods.... For the rear personally id go disks using sierra disks and calipers as its got and internal drum handbrake. Good luck with the build mate, post up a build thread!
