2l brakes definately won't fit under 13" wheels. They will fit under most 14s, and need ground down to fit under SR 3 spokes.

I think you can purchase custom 4 pot calipers to fit under 13s but it won't be cheap. I seem to recall something about brakes from a Metro Turbo? Research that.

I'm not sure if GTE brake calipers are any bigger than standard.

Corsa B calipers will fit, maybe fit some good pads and discs? That would probabaly be the cheapest option.

I looked in to it. Hope it helps

Edit: It's not budget stuff, but Hi-Spec do 4-pot kits to fit behind 13" wheels.

The metro turbo four pot calipers were made by AP Lockheed and have 36mm pistons.
Using a 100bar input pressure, the standard nova setup (236mm) would give approx 1128Nm of torque per caliper, the standard 16v (256mm) upgrade 1495Nm of torque and the metro turbo setup (213mm) 1083Nm.

So basically the metro calipers have a smaller piston area than the 16v calipers but greater than the standard nova setup, so for a set squeeze on the pedal the order of braking power is 16v, metro, standard (assuming they all acted on the same size disc)

Hope this helps!
