G'day Joel,

All the suggested options sound good so far. Just to be different, have a look at Volvo calipers. Alloy 4pots and cheap as chips. They are used a lot for escorts and other small club cars.

Don't go sacrificing braking ability for unsprung weight. Make sure that whatever you choose is going to perform as well.

One thing to look at with alloy calipers is the stiffness. Some aren't so good and open up a little under hard braking. This gives you a softer pedal and less feel. Thats why the alloy calipers are so much bigger than an equivalent steel one.
