Assembly large brake of possible FORD XR4?
 
Hello has all.
For the subject of braking dedicating my future construction to make track.
I am spirit to study the possibility of mounting discs and grips of brake of FORD SIERRA XR4.
They are larger brake with grips has 4 pistons.
There is t' it them already of the members of the forum who already made this type of assembly?

XR4 has single pot calipers not 4 pot calipers.

Only the 2WD Cosworth had 4 Pots.

Ok for the réponce,
I' do not have too l' practice of FORD, me is more the cars of France and Germany (BMW, VW, MERCEDES)
Certainement seen on a car tranformsd to race downtown.:D
If not the assembly is it possible to have a good braking in end of straight line.

The cars weigh ~650KG which is about half that of a sierra. The standard single pot brakes with 260mm disks give good braking.
