hi all just went out the breakers near me and there is a fiat 20v turbo coup with some phat brembos brakes on the front is there anyway i can use em on my s2
has anyone ever used them? they said i could have for £80 bucks

 

make em fit.

even if you cant, you will get more than £80 for em on ebay lol

 

you can make mounts up to bolt them on,

but when i looked at them for my sierra , the issue was the caliper being 58mm from the disk, so would catch the alloy with the ford offset

 

ps check page 26 of my resto thread, click my sig for it.

i have just fitted some evo 8 brembos to my 3dr, will have some more pics on sat of the brackets etc

 

They are virtually identical to the Focus RS Brembo's and are whats fitted to my S2.



I designed the brackets and had them machined from Billet. The bells are custom, rotors are AP.

 

sweet they must be worth 80 bucks im all in

the only thing what do i do the disks should i take them too for a pattern

 

They are quite large, i like them!

 

330mm, they are BIG BIG overkill for an RST. A squeeze behind 16's too.

Drums on the rear!!

 

Dont matter tho dose it, they look cool, I would rather have a car that looks cool that a car that looks shit but goes like stink!

I want some big breaks on my 306

 

Can these Brembos be fitted behind a 15" wheel sucha s a Comp MO ?

 

Col cos1 fitted some to his 3dr.
He got zoo to make up the brackets

the evo 8 calliper is a bit bigger than the FRS one, so nut sure what size wheel it would fit under.

im using 17" ultralights, and focus RS front discs (330mm)

had to mod the calliper a bit, but the brackets were very easy to get made.

 

How easy do you think it would be to get these onto a 4x4 saph?

 

easy as making the brackets up and getting the correct disk size/offset

got some r32 skyline 4 pots going on my mk3 escort

 

the brembo's are standard on some Fiat 20V Turbo's - they will fit but you'll need to make a mounting bracket or some kind of spacer to make them perfectly aligned i'd imagine.

but yes, worth £80 all day long even if you end up selling them on again.

 

They come std on every 20v turbo iirc

 

Thats looking good Dan
Evo Brembos fit behind a 17 inch wheel, I've 345mm disks behind 17inch MO's and there's still a few mm's left.


If your zooming in on this pic you can see the little clearance thats left

 

Richie dont think these will fit behind a 15" due to the mounting lugs.

 

once brackets done they are a peice of piss to fit and work very well

 

I have these on my car, work very well! get em on, £80 is cheap!

 

If I had a £1 for everytime I had been asked for brackets ....

 

i had alfa brembos on my escort which i made up brackets for before but should have got bells/rotars to change the disc offset as the st170 discs put the calpiers too far out

 

I would imagine its possible, but when i picked up my AP's for my old saff, we were looking at coupe brembos, and i remember shaun saying something about the piston sizes, and how they can be different, depending on where the caliper is, leading edge or trailing edge. As the coupe brembos (and FRS) are leading edge and saff brakes are trailing edge its worth speaking to an expert about it.

 

can they be fitted to mine? under std wheels?

 

cheers Andy, how are you doing sir? its been a long time!

 

Never tried it Steve.

 

Just get a set of carbon metallic pads fella - wont need big brakes then!!!

 

ask fudey off here

he make you same lovely bracket's out of MDF for you

 

found a pic of mine

 

i run ds3000 all round, pads aint a problem, well neither is my braking, but cheap 4 pots sound good

 

got some in 13mm thick alloy now!

 

You could probably just run the 406 V6 set up couldn't you? But i think they need 16's. It's a 305mm disk i think

 

yes i could but 80 is a damm sight cheaper than the 300 people sell the v6 one for

 

Well get yourself some calipers and i've got some disks you can have for £25 - brand new

 

Another option to look at for people wanting Brembos is Porsche 993 red ones, or the Boxster S ones which are the same but black.
I had them on my Audi S2 with 323mm Audi S8 discs
