Hansenturbo

nice so that just give some more opportunities to get them for a go price

does thet mean that the price of secondhand focus brembos will come down or the price of fiat ones will go up. ?????????

rsbenj1

rsbenj1

Hansenturbo

Thanks M8

are the brembos a direct replacement for the standard cossie callipers?

rsbenj1

some will fit just depends on the disc you use as well as if its 2wd or 4wd

but alot off people are sell ing the fiat 1s as focus rs to gain extra cash but you can tell as the fiat are alot older and it shows

what size discs will be needed if putting these brembos on a 2wd cossie

cosmo V6

NONE of them will fit without modifying them and getting a mounting bracket made up.

the brembo's mentioned in this thread are lug mounted and have 130mm hole centres.

Ford calipers use 90mm centres


Been there got the T shirt

cosmo V6

324 x 28 any bigger and you risk warping unless you go 2 piece as in disc with a seperate bell

baz_Ireland

who does the bell and the disc set up on here...
do you know whats the biggest disc i can run under 17" softlines? its a 4 x 4

the evo callipers are pysically much larger than the focus rs.


i have a pair on my 3dr off an evo 8. munting bracket was a peice of piss to get made, if you dont mind trimming a bit off the inside of calliper lol

i also used the FRS disc

not the best pic



mine

cosmo V6

You cannot get the FRS brembos inside 17" 7 spokes baz as the front face of the caliper will foul the inside face of the spokes

baz_Ireland

Will 406 or fiat turbo 20?alve calipers fit?

baz_Ireland

Would the 406 or alfa 20 valve fit behind or are they all all the same size?

Hansenturbo

What if you use a 10 or a 20 mm spacer on a erst
with 7 spokes?

They are all the same mate. None will fit on a 4x4 with 7 spokes. I tried on mine

As above the callipers are the same size but do NOT have the same mountings/holes. Not really a major problem for most. Fiat/Alfa/FRS all the same size. They do a bigger size which is what Evos and Porkers tend to come with.

I fitted FRS Brembo calipers to my first Cossie years ago









Were a bit of a pain to get right as I had to make mounting brackets for the caliper lugs and hub lugs but got there in the end

Also the wheels were 8" wide too, anything narrower wouldn't fit

muz

As said the Alfa, Pug etc calipers have slightly different mounting points I thought? They are physically much smaller than the Evo calipers. In fact, they are a pretty small caliper as far as Brmebos go. Both my brothers have got Brembos on their Golf and Scooby and the Focus ones are noticeably smaller than both.

baz_Ireland

so one needs a 8" wide wheel or more? but still 17" rims will clear the calippers?

[/QUOTE]
