bren_1.3 1 Posted April 21, 2006 anyone aware of uprated brakes to fit under 13inch wheels??? im using base model hubs. i assume a 266mm disc would go under the wheel....although am doubtful of a 285mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest smokinslim Posted April 21, 2006 If 266mm will fit then gti-6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butler 0 Posted April 21, 2006 266mm only just fit under a 14" wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted April 21, 2006 247mm only just clear under some 13's. There is no way a GTi-6(283mm) brake set up will fit under anything smaller than a 15' wheel. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted April 21, 2006 My 266mm setup wouldn't fit under my 1.6 alloys, well it did but the car wouldn't move! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base-1 17 Posted April 21, 2006 Looking at your avatar, you're going rallying? Ring AP up and they'll sort you out some low-profile 4 pots and discs to fit under some 13s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted April 22, 2006 1.6 calipers with 1.9 247mm discs fit just.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ring AP up and they'll sort you out some low-profile 4 pots and discs to fit under some 13s yes i am going rallying, there is a company called Alcon who make small slimline brakes but ive heard very little about them in general. 1.6 calipers with 1.9 247mm discs fit just.... didnt realise it was going to be that tight under there!!!

DaveW 6 Posted April 23, 2006 its the cailper you gotta worry about the 1.6 cailper was quite close to the wheel! but it all fits fine under 13' steelies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi16nut 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Alcon make some of the best brakes out there, but they're not cheap; think AP prices at least. The 205 Group A kitwas Alcon if I remember correctly. For cheaper, look at Wilwood or Hi-Spec four pots. Mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base-1 17 Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) Alcon are the absolute bollocks, best in the business. They don't supply half the WRC for nothing If you can afford it, do it. Edited April 27, 2006 by base-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bren_1.3 1 Posted April 27, 2006 i shall look into alcon further then. another option i thought about was austin metro 4 pot calipers. i know the mini boys use them quite alot as a braking option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
