Hi I got mine off of a fiat 20v turbo. I am running focus RS discs and pads so I know they are the same.

Cupra/Fiat/Evo calipers are radial mount whereas FRS are lugs - otherwise pretty much the same.

You will need caliper mounting brackets to mount them on the hub carriers.


And they will NOT fit behind RS & spokes as the front face of the caliper will foul the rear face of the spokes.

Been there fella

Alcons or Wilwoods are generally pretty slim - otherwise you could look at a bell+rotor setup to move the discs further inboard....
