Title: Cosworth Brakes
Post by Savvy on Mar 17^th, 2009, 9:54pm

On my last MoT it was noted that the brake hoses probably saw their last MoT. I also have front discs and pads grinding in reverse which sounds awful. Rear pads are squeaking now...

So, I wanna spend a few quids on new discs, pads and hoses all round and I want decent stuff. Standard sizes but good pads (carbon ceramic?) and decent vented discs and if possible braided hoses. Will also have a brake fluid change whilst I'm at it.

Where is the best place for this stuff? Is it even possible to get "uprated" discs/pads for the Cossie? Don't want to have to make modifcations etc etc. Made to measure if possible.

Cheers all!

I would go for Ford discs every time, never had any problems with them, other makes seem to warp easier

Thanks highlander

What about pads? Are they the same pads used on other fords ie mondeo?
