Best for calipers for under 13" wheels

[Gareth_C]

Hi guys I know this has come up over and over again but I need some decent gm calipers to fit under some 13" wheels I can't use aftermarket 4-pots they have to be from a standard car. I've read on the net that the GSI options are the best bet but would need spacing. I can't run spacers but I can run lower offset set wheels so. Could I get a way with fitting a st 38mm vw wheels to fit under the calipers.
cheers Gareth

Their is another thread on this with lots of info.
i think you can only use solid discs 236 and best to go for the ATE calipers.

I have 236 vented discs with later ATE calipers iirc (Corsa Sport) on the Sport and my SR (6J x13" Revolution RFX's fitted to the Sport at one time)

The ate calipers are the one that look like te 2.0 calipers with the single pin on the back is that correct

This is the actual caliper without the carrier.

If I ran the corsa/ tigra ate caliper the the nova GSI disk would fit I'm guessing

Depends what size of carriers you get.
tigras had 236 and 256. Don't know about corsas
is the gsi 256 ?

The GSI are a 236x20 which is what I would like to stick with if possible

Corsa GSi and Tigra's are 256x20mm. Corsa 1.4 Sport/SRi and late Nova GSi have 236x20mm

The numbers stamped on the left side of the caliper are the piston and disc width. So that caliper is 48mm piston and 20mm disc width
