When 14" wheels are being used, prepare to need to do some clearancing on the brake calipers, caliper mounts or both. While most of the kits that state they are good for 14" wheels were designed for that need, the parts supplied don't necessarily conform to those tolerances. So you've got to typically do some cutting and grinding.

Making sure your wheels are true is also a good idea here. Many of these factory wheels over the years have lost their true round.

As far as what kit to get, they all pretty much use the same repop calipers and rotors. The caliper brackets might differ a bit brand to brand, but that's not rocket science.
