Hello all!

A query... Is it possible to fit the front GTV brake calipers and disks onto my '97 2.0 16v TS 155?

Is it just a straight replacement, or a bracket change too or not possible... i'v just spied a minted front set in the local scrappies. (arse end broken on the GTV)

i think i may just get them anyways and give it a go.

oh yeah, they are way bigger than my ones... loverly huge things (look like 4 pots)... look like brembo units with the copper pipes running top to bottom type thing... painted bright red with alfa romeo on them (as standard i think)
ruddy huge stoppers.

mwahahaha

Yes they will fit. My mate Ben had a 155 with GTV caliper's once he'd thrown some nice disc's & pads at them, you where in danger of having yours eye's popped out under braking....this was on track mind!

i'm gonna get them on saturday


Is it just a straight swap? no problems with the wheels being too small? (i'm running the 15"s atthe moment.

well...

the ones around here (fife, scotland) seem to rather guff.

Saying that though it might just be the female partners taking their hubby's car fer a spin.


I AM ONLY JOKING! PLEASE DO NOT SEND HATE MAIL TO THIS ADDRESS.

I can honestly say that the main scrappys around here have more gtv's that 156's sitting on site - a few tvr's too.... seems suspicous to me :O)
