    Default I need a brake upgrade for ke55

    Hey guys i had a search and could not find any info but before you give me c/p/h replys im after something that will fit under 13" wheels, as i like my wheels and if i cant find anything to fit under them i will just live with the brakes i have. I was thinking of ae86 brakes but unsure if they fit under 13" wheels or if they are even any bigger than my current brakes. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

    Cheers
    Dave

    I am currently fitting up RT132 Corona brakes with the twin piston calipers and this will be running 13 inch wheels so maybe look at that option. These are to go on my TA22 and hopefully should be a fairly straight forward swap. As you can see by the pic they are a vast improvement on the std '22 brakes.

    Got each side from the wreckers for $55 each, so certainly cheap.

    ....if I could be bothered I'd go down into the garage and take a photo of them on my 13 inch Jellybeans but I can't so meh.....you decide...plus I have them on the green car in my avatar also and that pic is running the aforementioned 13 inch rims.

    ...a few liberal strokes with the angle grinder to take down some of the high spots on the caliper are all you need......not much at all.......runs damn close to the inside of the rim but it fits.
