Default Brembo 4 pot calliper differences ?

As per title are the any differences between the focus rs 4 pot brembos and the fiat coupe turbo callipers ? as I managed to pic up a pair of fiat coupe callipers cheap today, also would they fit behind escort cosworth wheels with the right discs and brackets ?

The main difference is that rs callipers are lug mount whereas most other brembos are radial bolt holes....

fiat ones are lug mount, as are v6 406 ones, although the bolt spacing is different, would still fit with appropriate brackets though.

cheers chip
glad to hear they will fit with right brackets mind you if they would it wouldnt be a great loss, as the pair i picked up only cost me £40 the pair mind you gotta sort out the right size brake discs out so i can keep a eye out for a bargain.

think I paid 150 for the last set of fiat ones I bought, so 40 quid sounds a bargain!

yeah it is, they just need a good clean as the car had done about 80k but they did come with nearly new red stuff pads by the looks of them.
