Effectively,. no. This is a bit of an old one now, but here's the run down:
As standard they will not fit under anything less than 12s. Some people have managed to turn down the discs and modify the calipers to fit under tens but the general consensus is that this is a bit dangerous.

There is no sense crying over every mistake- you just keep on trying til you run out of cake.

Dangerous in the wrong hands yes but what do you think the Miglia boys used pre alloy calipers! 4 pots can be made to successfully fit under any 10 inch wheel safely.

Turbo Dave will be able to tell you if the Fiesta route will give as good brakes as S discs/4pots as this is the other cheap option.

From memory I think the Fiesta brakes on paper were not as good as S discs?

I have a cooper S Setup, but i like the look of the 4 Pots from the Metro but i do prefer the Alloy ones, think i might sell my Cooper S Setup and Buy an Alloy Set.

My S ones were pretty good. The Fiesta ones look crap, i cant see how a 1 pot brake can be better than 2 but im no expert.

1 pot sliding and 2 pot fixed should be the same (roughly but I guess in this cas the Siesta caliper is alloy and pad may be bigger), 2 pot sliding is a different story though.

got F-Brakes on mine with 7.9 discs to fit under 10's and it stops very well. never driven on an S setup. I'm using a .70 MC I might go upto a .75 to see how that effects things.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

i have used fezzy ones which i found were way better than S ones, and i have a set of 4 pots running 10" wheels which are fine too *wink* like scruffy says as long as they are done properly.

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

I've been running them for a while now and they are about the same as 8.4" brakes, they may be marginally better or worse but I can't tell.

I think mine stops as well as the lads at my local club that rum 8.4's I would say about the same....

but not as good as one of the lads with a 6 pot tarox setup but at £700 I would hope not + he has to run 13" wheels
