Should aftermarket calipers be allowed in the future, we have developed
serious kits in conjunction with Hi Spec.
Have a look at RTR4461PK as an example
http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/mainframe.asp?http://www.revingtontr.com
/shop/product_display.asp?a=2&mscssid=KSUJT99M9RS92NRV00JP4Q4021E97X00&S
iteLanguage=ENG&ProductID=RTR4461PK
This kit has plain 280mm (11" in old money) discs (rotors) which we can
supply hardened for FIA applications where solid discs must be used.
Then we have RTR4458K which could be made 280mm if required

/shop/product_display.asp?a=2&mscssid=KSUJT99M9RS92NRV00JP4Q4021E97X00&S
iteLanguage=ENG&ProductID=RTR4458K
This is the same kit as RTR4461PK but with vented discs. These kits use
Billet 4 calipers which are good for road, track day, sprint, mild race.
For long race, endureo etc, the R114/4 caliper is best, as used on our
TR7 kits RTR4481K and RTR4482K which use a vented disc
This kit can easily be morphed into TR2-6
We also do a Herald, spitfire, GT6 kit but don't advertise it!
I hope this helps

I have talked with Jeremy Thoennes about using aftermarket calipers
on Prod cars. He semed willing to entertain it a couple of years ago.
Production based calipers are usually MORE expensive than current
Dynalite, Willwood etc. Also it is much easier to get good pads for the
aftermarket calipers. The approach needs to be to allow aftermarket
calipers for all Prod cars. Limited to 4 piston aluminum calipers and 1"
x 11" vented ferrous rotors. The production vehicle calipers don't have
high temp seals etc, etc. Years ago, racing calipers were very expensive
but with modern CNC they are a bargain today.
