RST brake set up under 14'' wheels
Would Escort RS Turbo brake calipers and disks fit under 14'' wheels ? Would like to bolt up some 14'' wheels to my 1.4 but dont want to restrict a future brake upgrade in the process.
Cheers

I'd say YES, at least on some wheels, the rwd xr4i, used 260mm discs with 14" wheels as std, same single piston sliding caliper as well.
