I have heard of people putting Falcon disc breaks on Escorts, is this front or back or both? Is this a bolt on mod? Can a Falcon diff be put on an Escort or is that to difficult or too wide?

I have Falcon brakes on my Capri using the CRS kit (same kit Capri or Escort) You have to get the falcon hubs machined to fit on the shorter stub axle.
I have a narrowed Falcon diff in the rear to match. |

Anything will fit with a degree of work. Don't be looking for something that will just bolt in, as often the best option is to custom make something, or modify an existing part to fit. The easy way will only come back to bite you in the ar$e. And it seems from your recent threads that that's the option you are trying to take, willygrice. Not criticising you, just trying to offer some advice.

hoppers stoppers brakes kits are a bolt on kit
they are by far the easiest and versaile option to upgrade your brakes any diff you are fitting like what you speak off will require narrowing for your application i would consider a borg warner like from a commodre fitted with 4 pinion LSD then your rear brakes will be sorted also only needing a master cylinder upgrade |
