Title: Brakes for 2.3 DOHC Saloon
Post by derekne on Aug 25^th, 2006, 11:41pm

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if the brake disks. For my scorpio 2.3 DOHC 1998. Should be drilled and groved ones?
My front bumper has the vent in the front if this helps?
Thanks..

My 1998, 2.3 facelift just has bog standard vented discs.
I can't see that the vents in the front really do much to cool the brakes, as they aren't really directed towards them :)

the discs are the same as mondeo (260mm) except the v6 (276mm).
there is a company on ebay selling both discs AND pads for around 33 quid including postage, which is unbelieveably cheap.

I got a set of new front discs off E-Bay for £30, unfortunately after only 6k miles they had to be replaced due to warping. :-/

You pays your money...............
