Default Factory fitted brembo calipers
Where can I find mounting dimensions and detailed drawings for factory fitte brembos? Such as 406 coupe, Alfa's Focus RS etc? I need 406 coupe ones but trying to find if there the same as fitted to another model.

Find the part number for the pads and see what else has the same pad number. Good chance it will be the same.

Brembo pads are interchangable between loads of their calipers but the calipers themselves differ in fitment considerably.

I'm after some for a 306 gti-6, which is why I need a comparison between the alfas caliper and the v6 406coupe caliper as they fit.

I think best thing is for me to just take car work and have a look!!

i had to use 3mm spacers just to clear the standard 4 pots with the rs 7 spokes mate

so when i got bigger brakes i had to get new rims

i like the mo`s but the diamond cuts looked great on my car also

but it was function over looks as usual for me
