You can make anything fit if you have the skills, its only a case of bracketwork.
I made up a kit my self using Porsche 4 pots and 310 x 32mm discs.

You would destroy pretty much any new road tyre on the track as the tread blocks move around too much.
3/4 worn are the best. Also beware using slicks as it can easily cause oil starvation resulting in engine failure.
Are you sure its nothing to do with it being used way out of its operating range?
Thats why you need bigger and thicker discs for prolonged track abuse.
Dont go dilled either
I would tend to agree, I made an uprated one with uprated rubber bushes no air gaps as per Reno. I took it off within a week as it was too much of a ballache due to the increased noise and vibration.
I can only guess Reno made theirs that way for a very good reason.
The std rear discs hold the wheel bearings, meaning significant modifications would have to take place to fit them.
Anything can be done its just how deep are your pockets.
There is no real advantage braking wise as the rear does very little.
Not IMHO,
This car would never keep up with the modern breed of MK2 escorts and they are in the class below and usually they have 6 speed sequential transmission and 250bhp+
That car would be against 6R4, scoobies, mitsis and the like no contest.
Also the RACMSA is very much against...
