Default Fitting Brembo's?

Looking at a couple of sets of Fiat Coupe Brembo's to buy for mine.
Whats needed to fit them? Spacers etc?
What discs do i use? Im running 16s and would like to keep my st170 discs tbh, if not i hear that 325mm focus rs discs just squeeze under 16s?
What pads are best?

Comp's should fit over 324mm FRS discs, I have brackets to suit MK4/5/6 Fiesta, Puma etc the might do the RST too.

i run st170 discs and calipers on my orion, but ive been looking at various 4pots to use instead. ive decided to use the AP 4pots from an mgtf vvt as they run a 16" wheel and similar sized disc to the st170 and are lug mounted so seem to tick the boxes.

I run 300mm discs and st220 calipers, but want 4pots for looks and i like brembo's...
Fiat coupe's use 304mm discs and brembo's so i think i'll try and get some of them to fit, i'll have to mock some up with a spare hub and see what bracketry is required.

It's the disc thickness. Most brembos need 32 mm thick discs.

I've got 16x7 et25 comp ths and they fit over Evo calipers and 325 mm discs just
