Have a search on here, but I think I saw a set for about £100 for discs, and about £40 for pads.

They are not expensive at all...as I believe thay are actually Sierra Cosworth ones?

I did a lot of looking around and research , as I ws torn between a Chim and a Cerb. The cerb is the better , faster car, but the running costs are a LOT more, as most of the parts are bespoke to the Cerb. The Chim uses a lot of other car parts!!!

The discs are from an Escort RS Turbo series 2 (as are the pads). The are also the same as fitted to an Xr4x4. They are 260mm. There are hundreds of suppliers if you want to upgrade a bit. I got mine fromRally design, X drilled and grooved for 90ish. EBCs, which are very popular, vary from £120 to £140.

For info, the cosworth brakes are fitted to the rear. An upgrade is available which uses cossie front discs (283mm), but you have to move out your calipers or change them.

Yes the rear solid discs are any sierra with ABS fitted,but cosworth also.you can fit the 283mm vented cosworth disc upfront 85/86 RWD, with the Granada cosworth callipers but you have to make a few mods.
