Alfa Romeo calipers (Brembo 4 pot)

[kamalao]

Hi there,
Been looking a lot for info on this subject but so far nothing.
Question is, has anyone fited Alfa Romeo 156 V6 brembo 4 pots calipers on a 1*2?

Is it a direct fit?

Acording to the info i researched the fixing points are 150mm apart, so no need to use brackets aperantly.
And the discs they use are 284mm 22mm thick, so very similar to the clio ones.


Apreciate all the help i can get.

Cheers
Kamalao

Iirc the caliper holes are to close to that of the clio1*2.

Here is another easier option.

Maybe these photos you can understand better what i mean.
these are 406 with custom brackets to fit 300mm.

These are the alfa romeo with 150mm spacing holes fixings

Think this can bolt straight in the clio, plug n play.

Sugestions are welcome.

Cheers

Its not just bolt spacing and the disk width you have to worry about, the offset of the caliper is important although washers could be used to go one way or some machining to go the other.

Seems i have to try this and then come back with more details.

Anyone else tried this?

Found out the hard way... they don´t fit! Forget it! :slap:

So what went wrong? What didn't fit onto what?

The fixing holes of the calipers, stay aligned with the holes of the hub (paralel to the brake disk imo), so not even a chance to make any kind of bracket. Was hoping to get way around but stays too far from the brake disc almost not touching.

Megane brembos or 406 brembos is the easiest rout to go unless you buy a clio specific kit.
