Brake Calipers

Anyone go a pair of calipers to replace my old heavy ford m16's. Currently running none vented discs and 13inch wheels.
Thanks

I'm not aware of any alternative, and especially under 13" wheels....Honestly, the Wilwoods are hard to beat, are a direct replacement, light and fit under 13's....Rally design is your best bet...Get them with some Mintex 1144 pads, and be happy with your newly found stopping power :-)

erm.... new pedal 'feel' is ALL you will get. Stopping distance won't change!

That was pointed more towards the mintex 1144 pads rather than the Calipers.....They made a big difference from the standard pads in the M16's.......

My m16 are fitted with mintex pads.

In that case, JAG is correct, don't expect any additional braking...Just a lighter unsprung weight...and wildwoods are considerably lighter.
