High performace brakes under 16 inch rims?
hi, I'm thinking of going back to a 16 inch rim on my classic hillclimber to get the softer tyre compounds i want for next season. I currently run compomotive MO's in 7.5x17 with a 38 offset (daft i know) which clear my gold sti brembos by a country mile.
However I really am not keen on going to subaru 4 pots as it is too much of a compromise in performance after having tried some.
To my point, has anyone fitted or does anyone know a brake kit that will deliver high performance and fit under 16 inch rims, I intend to get compomotive wheels again so calliper clearance should not be an issue if i can find something that will do the job.
Any advice/help much appreciated.
