2wd cosworth brakes are 283mm and i do believe there is some variation in the mountings between the cosworth and the standard sierra hubs.
for the weight of the car the standard sierra brakes will be more than man enough for the job.
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

another one that's been reasonably flogged to death.
if my memory serves me, the outcome has been no. you have to remove too much material from the caliper carrier/upright in order to make them fit.
cosworth uprights are wrong for some reason too. different dimensionally iirc
do a search

I'm fitting the brakes from my 2wd cossie on my Indy and there is definatelly a slight difference and its not going to be a bolt on job.
I'm not using the std calipers, but I do have a complete set of cossie brakes and they are not light. In fact they are heavier than the 330mm
6pot kit that I am fitting instead.
