Hi All

I've been looking at this

I've heard rhumours that they won't fit on the MPi. I've got standard calipers and going to use EBC green stuff pads. My question is will they fit or not? I also have 13" deep dish superlites if this makes any difference.

I'm also thinking about superfins on the back - these.. will they fit on the back? If I have to change anything to fit either of them on my car, what will I need to change?

The vented disc's need to be used in conjunction with either metro 4 pot's or the alloy 4 pot callipers made by Mini Spares, KAD and Mini Sport they WON'T fit with your standard callipers due to these being designed to use a thinner 'solid' disc.

vented disks are very heavy, your better off with solid if you ask me, they wont improve braking as much as a set of kad 4 pots on solid and youl add weight.

i would go for ebc green stuff and some drilled and grooved discs, i think you'll find that that will be more than enough stopping power, i ran ebc greenstuff pads and standard 7.5 inch cooper s discs on a 1380 minivan, and that stopped really well and never had issues with brake fade. minifin drums on the rear arent really necessary but they look nice.
