There very heavy calipers iirc, but will fit under small wheels, if thats what your after? If youve got a bit more room, im using rx7 calipers which
can be picked up cheaply and theyre all alloy, but quite a bit bigger. Also look for mgtf and 300zx ones they go quite cheaply on the bay. Check
what the pistons and seals are like before you do anything as you could find they quite likely need some money spending on them.

metro 4 pots are pretty heavy, but main problem is limited and pretty expensive aftermarket pads allied with a rather small pad area. Often the
correct pad compound will get cooked due to dinky dimensions of pad area meaning you need to go up in compound which can compromise the cold feel of
the brakes. They can get a bit snatchy until warmed with some makes of race pad

I need a caliper that will fit under a 13" wheel. They are very heavy yes, but for the price of new seals and some cheap fabrication against the
hundreds i'll spend n wilwoods. Will they be effective?
Depends whether they'll fit over a sierra disc and on a sierra hub

some of the modern sliding calipers actually hug the disc more than they first look. The metros look dinky but still stick out a fair way past the
disc (in relation to running 13" wheels. Modern calipers also tend to have a nice big pad area too

So does anyone know if the metro calipers will fit with sierra discs and hubs?
