Title: brembo calipers
Post by: lawrie1987 on 12 March 2012, 21:13

alrite guys n gals

i have a set of 17" mercedes segins on my car and standard brakes i wanna run some brembos but there is so many different cars they come on
sooooo my question is how do i noo if there gonna fit my car
hence do the peugeot 406 brembos fit the same as the leon cupra r ones or the brembos off an evo 6789 would they fit  all the same
ann lastly wot would be the biggest size disc i could run under 17s

would of thought it depends on the size of the caliper if that fits behind the 17 wheel as some of them brembos are huuuge then decide what size disc suits the caliper i maybe very wrong but ind of makes sense atleast i think so  :laugh:

yes they are 18's on the cupra r so think you will struggle with 17's

really randomly i just measured the inside diameter of my wheels an there 15" wide internally

which is 381mm

an the leon discs are 323mm so ideally i need to no the length of a leon brembo lol

Its not the size of the disc which interferes with the wheel it the massive callipers which catch
