Brembo Advice

As a previous Fiat Coupe owner I have a spare set of the Brembo calipers that were fitted to the 20vt.

I havent yet got my Alfa yet but I will be getting a 156 soon. My question is will the Brembos fit the Alfa or are we talking new hubs and carriers?

Thanks!

Re: Brembo Advice

Are they the same Brembo's as fitted to the GTV 3.0 V6 and the early 156/147 GTA, that take the 305mm discs?

If so, you would need to get the hubs from a GTA, and press them in with new wheel bearings. Not a straight swap I'm afraid, and you would need 17"s..

This might be of interest to you:

Re: Brembo Advice

Not hubs, it it the suspension upright you need and new std bearings. You then fit your original hubs into those.


Some 16" rims will fit with the 305mm Brembos.
