Title: Fiat brembo conversion ???
Post by: Charlieessex on 29 December 2011, 19:48

I've got a hold of a pair of brembo 4 pot calipers has anyone ever heard of anyone doing this conversion ? At the moment I'm thinking about getting a pair of Subaru impreza sti front discs and get them machined to 304mm (fiat size) and have brackets made to fitt the calipers, just thought I would inquire before I start

What car do you have, I am guessing at the moment but I think the disc offset will be all wrong.

Cause i only paid 30 quid per caliper and the fiat size is 304mm so hopefully it's cheaper to do it this way and failing this I'll flog them
