Thanks for that Martin.

So what options do I have as far as upgrading the discs?

I'm now thinking S14a calipers. So need to work out the disc side of it now.

Skyline calipers are for bigger discs, so the offset will be wrong. These discs will work nicely with them though:

That is the only true upgrade.

S14/Z32 calipers are designed for 280mm discs so bolt on with no issues. You dont actually need spacers for the thinner discs either.

Other than that, you could go for custom bells/discs that are available for the S13 but the offset of the bell might be wrong, so some measurements of the disc offset will need to be made. You never know, they may be the same.

Ok so if I go for a direct replacement of calipers with the S14 ones, which discs would you recommend?

Are standard S12 discs 280mm?

Who sells uprated 280mm discs?

S12 discs are 274mm IIRC.

You cant really upgrade to anything which fits the S12 hub. The only way is to use say the Apex 310mm S13 kit and hope the offset is correct

So just put the S14 calipers on a good set of standard size discs?

Thats better than nothing but the standard sized discs are still thin.
