Default AP's

Can any AP's fit under standard S1 wheels or would I need to take the bigger rims route ? I doubt any will, but just thought I'd ask.........

I would say you need bigger rims bruv as most AP calipers are on the large side.

I had the old austin princess old skool 4 pot set up on my Granada ghia x and they fitted under 15's, wasn't bad either

you need to be asking the likes of matrin and nuts rs sort of guys who specificly deal with brake kits for a difinative answer

assuming you are going to be using the nriginal 15's i don't think you'll get away with them, but i have seen a set of ap's bolted behind a late 92 cossie spec rim (the bbs style one) on 300's so it's possible

I'm sure you can get calipers small enough, and good enough to suit your needs...will be dear though i guess.

Lots of race cars run small wheels with AP brakes.
