all you can do is get better disc and pads, if the caliper have seen better days then refurbed caliper, thats about it for the 14 inch wheels tbh, you could change for escort ones but no point tbh

ditto

keeping the rs 3 spokes basically means you cant upgrade the calipers.
Grooved discs and mintex pads are the way forward tbh

My old sportka discs and callipers fit under my old original 14" Ka alloys.
