good brake setup.. Are these floating calipers?
I tried to do the same thing with the Starlet calipers but their floating sleeves hit the front steady bars!

Have you weighed this setup by any chance?
Just want to compare this with the Metro 8.4" setup

Darren, he's saying that he can also run aluminium alloy calipers off a Hyundai. They are lighter than the Swift iron calipers, and the Hyundai pads will sweep the entire surface of the disc where the Gti pads only use about 80% of the available area.
