Seedy Al Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hey guys, So the other day I was in my garage in Wellington, staring at my 1200 ute and how much I like that car, and what its going to look like with the street fins I have etc And I was thinking, damn, the brakes I have probably arnt going to work, but what will? Its currenlty been setup for Mazda RX7 series 5 brakes, very cool lots of braking power, but I have 13x7 street fins, and not really convinced theya re going to fit. I have seen these fins fit on a cressida, so they do fit same cars that would normally take 14's, but I think pushing 13's will be to much. The vehicle had 15's on it before to clear the brakes as it was. SO does anyone have any suggestions? Its a 1200 ute with 4age turbo, so needs reasonable brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRK Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 yeh those rx7 brakes need 15 inch or bigger. even some 15s wont fit. I has tried lol edit: I think I seen rx3s and stuff that wanted to keep their modgies run vented 626 or some kinda Honda disk. maybe silvia brakes aswel. was looking into it for chevette but forgot most things I learnt. My liteace has pretty beefy vented disks behind 13 inch rims...stops van with trailer and a 700kg load on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Scan catalogues for a disc of a similar diameter to factory or measure inside your fins for the allowed gap, search for a vented and slotted disc of similar diameter then just buy a beefy twin pot caliper with some decent pads.

Testament Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 willwood midilite or minilite calipers I think. Basically I'm in the same/ similar situation with my 131 - need to fit maximum amount of braking inside 13" wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haurangi Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah wilwood make a low profile caliper and disc set for stock cars, I know they'll fit under a 14, ask cardwells if they'd fit under a 13 (although the price will sting the wallet if you go through them).

Seedy Al Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 I did find a box of Pajero / EVO 2 2pot calipers when i was going through my garage the other day. Might have a measure up of that and see what clearnce i can get, then find disc to suit, they seem pretty beefy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 AE 101 discs and calipers could be a cheap option, OSC has these on his 4A-GTE Escort Estate, running 13 inch Superlites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 can get 250mm rotors with 4 pot wilwoods under a 13 inch. the wilwoods run up about $220 each + about $120 for pads from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingsfree Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 ^This. Im running Wilwood Dynalites with a 255mm x 20mm rotor under my 13inch Longchamps. You wont get much bigger than that under a 13, iv only got bout 4mm clearance around the circumference. Otherwise my old setup was pretty decent, Nissan Laurel large single pots with a 256 mm rotor..
