they're alrite, TBH i dont think the calipers are much better than standard RST ones, its just the fact that your upping the dia of the discs from 260mm to 283mm which makes it better braking
i am infact thinging of changing them to ST170 calipers & 300mm discs
oh yeah n they should still squeeze under your 15's but you cant go any bigger than that
you can get a adaptor plate so you can use your RST calipers with 283mm discs

From what I understand is that you need to machine 3mm off the mounting face of the caliper to make them fit..
