Which callipers will fit under my c5 "steelies?" - Xsikid - 03-06-2017
Hi all am wanting to upgrade my front brakes on the 6 but use my c5 steelies- first part is will lotus Elise calipers work ok with brackets and maybe spacers? Second part to this question is what are you guys using under the c5 wheels? Also what discs do you run with them cheers

Lol yeah I thought so :-)) don't get me wrong they are a very good set up but I just fancy something better/ lighter if possible

Sweet bud thanks for info - was thinking wilwood midlites or similar but I got refurbished Elise AP calipers plus brackets for £200 so at that price was well happy. Just unsure of spacer size for my c5 steels. And what the lightest disc I could run with them . Cheers

I would prob go for 15 or 20mm spacers if i was using a lot on track - otherwise clearance and (I assume) cooling is minimal with the c5 steelies.
