hey,
i havent really researched this yet but i thought it would be easier to get a general base from you guys, so . . .
are there any four pot brake calipers that will fit inside 15 inch wheels with slotted or drilled discs?
and what size rotors can you fit in 15's?
Pete :)
I think the question is what size callipers can you fit more than the actual rotor size. Also the rims design will have a lot to do with howmuch space you have :)
What car is it for? Because the DC2R has twin pots (I think) inside 15s.....but its a pretty tight squees :)

it's because of DC2R using 15 inch brake, so just fit the 15 inch rims.
to fit a 4 pot caliper inside 15 inch rims, u may need to see the width and offset of the rim. (like 15 x 6.5, offset 40, can fit a spoon caliper)
like my friend, he fitted the spoon 4 pot caliper into DC2R, and still, they work perfectly with the factory 15 inch rims.
wynode// i think the DC2R has single spot as original, a BIG single spot tho... :D
Cheers
ohh, yes, and EG6 using 14 inch brake, which means it can use 14 inch rims minimum. anyway, the 15's are the standard...
just for addition information, the DC2R's factory 15 inch rims are in 6 inch width. however, i have no idea of the offset they have, but they still fit a 4 pot...
Stephen used to fit his spoon brake caliper with his stockies. He had to use a very very thin spacer though.
it depends on what 4 pot caliper you're trying to fit
how would u guys rate the following 4 pot calipers:
1. Spoon
2. AP Racing
3. Wilwood
4. Brembo
in weight, price, preformance, and price of brake pad(for example, spoon caliper can use factory size brake pads on ITR, but AP requires some other size that are expensive)?
Cheers
ive got a jazz . . .
so 4 pots would be an overkill but it was a thought i had . . .
i was thining of wilwoods maybe . . .
the brakes start to fade after a while of hard use and i was sort of looking beyond getting slotted rotors and better pads
Pete :)
for a Jazz, u can choose the AP Racing 4 pot, with 290mm slotted disc. but in this case, u may need to use 16 inch rims, not sure about 15.....Quote:
