So I am looking into purchasing a set of Kad 4 pot callipers for my mini, however I ma not sure if they fit under my rims. The rims are 4.5x10 "steelies" from minispares, does anyone know wether they will fit ?

Is your car sitting on the bump stops?

Nope it's actually still a few cm away from being on the bumpstop, and believe or not it doesn't rub, even when driving enthusiastically . And i love the way is sits so i don't think i am gonna be raising it any time soon.

Cheers bud agree with you a 100%, unfortunately i get that a lot here in malta, and most of the time they tell me that i did the whole thing wrong, that it should be restored to factory spec and so on, and most of that is cause i am young and as they say "dont know what i am doing". But hey my car, my money

Agreed, it is your car to do with as you wish.  Are you blessed with smooth roads in Malta then?  I would certainly have mine set lower if the roads round here were smooth.

In all honesty they aren't too bad, except for the occasional side street or b road.

Bajean, I was in Malta and Gozo in August this year and saw quite a lot of classic minis. The small roads and side streets are ideal for them!

 

Yours looks nice!
