I can see many post concerning the front callipers and discs on the V8s but nothing on the rears.

Does anyone know what the rear set up is on the V8 and where they can be sourced.

Standard 253mm (I think) non vented Sierra discs, so any motor factors should be able to supply them at a reasonable cost.

I got rid of the standard calipers ages ago but I seem to remember the rears were Sierra P5.

Yep, so pads straight out of the Ford parts book.

Less than £35 for a PAIR including delivery. Bargain!

You'll need to double check the fitment though.

I tried to enter my vehicle details but it didn't recognise them, despite having the S listed.

I'll ring them tomorrow.

Cheers for the link

Good luck thumbup

Use this resource and look up Sierra. So long as you know your diameter and height you can't go wrong, but remember you want the solid disc.

Cheers Graham,
Ordered a set today. Will send them to be machine grooved to match the new fronts I've sourced.
