best brakes that fit under 13" rim?

[heds]

anyone know what the best brakes you can fit under a 13" rim? my slicks are on very small wheels so not much choice for brakes.
i know the standard nova brakes fit but are there any upgrades, any diesel models use vented discs etc....

I have some Wilwoods that fit under 13's, try them.

Corsa sport 236x20mm vented fit under 13" steels

Corsa sport 236x20mm vented fit under 13" steels

They are what I have on both the Sport and the SR, with 1.3's you are running a little more HP would think about wilwoods but realistically a increase in brake diameter/wheel size is on the cards

Or 2 sets of caliperslol

I have the compbrake kit designed for 14inch wheels, they fit but are tight ,will fit if you have split rims disc size circa 274mm

A bit pricey but try www.kentautodevelopments.com (http://www.kentautodevelopments.com) they have some mental brakes for mini's that fit under 13 inch wheels.

what are yuo planning to do, drag strip or track?

[heds]

drag strip mainly but i like to have a little drive about on the roads too, i have 16" comps for on the road but the 13's are slicks for drag.

Without sounding like a c0ck, wouldn't it be easier to buy larger wheels with slicks if its only to accommodate the drag racing, as they would only be used for a short stint, imo of corse.

[heds]

maybe, but i got a pair of 13" wellers with racing slicks for £31, so i want to use them ;-)
a smaller rolling radius is better for acceleration anyway and i high walled tyre has a lot more give and grip.

tbh you don't need brakes for drag racing.... just make sure the 236*20 ATE callipers (if you aren't running those as a minimum you need a slap) are in good nick with some 1144 pads.

ye mark my bros just fitted astra 1.7d vented 236mm discs to his corsa running 13s

[heds]

whats it like for braking though, both at the end of the strip and on the road?
ive also got rear discs fitted but might have to switch back to drums as there gonna be bigger than the fronts which isnt good, and even with a bias valve id have to turn them almost all the way down

[mowgli]

just swap over the brakes when you aren't using the slicks...
