looking to change the rear callipers

[smudge660]

Hi there,

i have the older brake set up , i.e vented on the front and solids on the back .
I want to change the rears to vented same as on the later chims , i think there 170mm discs , so my question is what callipers do i need to get to replace the ones i have ?

cheers

I purchased some new rear cosworth calipers from fleabay,hubs from a cosworth breakers £40 and the vented discs are cheap enough..some one will know what discs to use.Don`t forget the braided hoses..think the pads are the same ..look under cosworth on fleabay

Hey Darren , Cheers for that !! id you just change the rears or did you do the fronts as well?

a little topic change , why you changing your front wheels? it looks good with the 17's all round !! , am looking to get pro racers my self in matt black , at mo looking at either 16/17 or 17/18 front and back respective........where did you get your wheels from , if you don't mind me asking?

Yes i did the fronts ,purchased as a kit from handal a dutch guy.Came with new calipers,OE 278 discs,carriers and decent pads and two small spacers.If you look on Flebay under cosworth there are loads for sale even 4 pot calipers..They are a bit heavy but work very well.You can sell your rear set up with the old hubs because the S lads use them for a upgrade..

for the hubs
