Shaun the pic of the caliper hasn't got the pad spacers fitted but it has got the original shims fitted.

Northener, just an idea but would you be able to make up some spacers for me if i buy some s14 calipers?

(sorry to drag up an old thread)

Could do but there not much involved in doing it. I just got some 4mm ali cut locally. Use the Pad shim as a template and draw round it and then cut it and file it down, Job done. Suppose I could make a load of them but ATM its too cold and its the time factor. I might have some 4mm ali left I'll have a look and see !

Cool, it wouldnt have to be done soon, just making sure before i think about buying these. How much did you pay for your 4 pots?

I was lucky I paid £80 but had to collect from M25 South as the guy was braking a 98 S14 on www.sxoc.co.uk. I painted them Red and they look fab!

lee@ 13-03-2006 22:52

just a thought but how thick is the S14 pad without brake material on it?

northerner 14-03-2006 01:07

Yeh I thought of using an old one but could be bothered getting involved with hacking off all the old material and breathing it in whilst doing so !

What size wheels do you have to use with S14 caliper's?
Will they clear the standard 15"?

northerner 14-03-2006 20:30

The do clear 15's as long as you use a Minimum of 10mm spacers on the fronts with longer studs ! :eek:

Hiya Northerner,
It looks like a superb set up:D .
Do you think there will be enough clearance for 16`s without the need for spacers (that`s what I`ve currently got on my s12).
Regards,
Ian.
