they found that the hispec caliper they used flexed too much, it was a standard 266mm oem disc from a later vehicle with a slightly taller offset.

Do you think stanard vts with good pads/disks and cooling would be OK to track?

Its plenty to stop an AX being so lightweight. Depending on how hard the circuit is on brakes though, you may struggle to cool them enough behind tight 13s.

4pots can be done if you want to make stuff like brackets
think the mini 4pots fit and certainly hi-spec or willwood can be fitted --thats what we used with std 247 discs and replaced the discs twice a season --then we went 15" wheels and 283mm discs
i,m guessing you want to use 13" for gearing reasons or lots of old formula ford tyres about you
will 247 be ok ?
all depends on getting front to rear bias sorted ,so rears actually do something and car sits down on braking not diving
and of course depends how quick you are
