Try some 2wd cosworth calipers and disks mate.... Should be a far better upgrade and cheap enough.

will not fit under 13" wheels.
not a great deal out there to be honest, compbrakes do some thin callipers, coupled with a disc of choice i reckon you could get up to 260mm discs on there.

cossie calipers will work with 260mm discs, however i believe they need 14" rims minimum and only some types at that.
