brembo calipers...

[MCG]

does anyone know if you can get brembo calipers for the 182?

Yep. Not cheap £1.5k I know a ofrum member had them for a bit there kit comes with bigger disks.

Any caliper (within reason) can be made to fit though just need the mounting bracket to be fabricated.

Is that not overkill for a clio?

Arguable, I loved my 4 pots when I had them. Stock brakes are fine for most users. Fast road pads/race pads are fine they'll wear the caliper seals faster and cost more but most owners will never see this. IMO money no object do something which is suited to a job ie different calipers meant to deal with high temps (the stock ones arn't) plus less unsprung weight plus cheaper pads etc but its a big investiment. I'd use a kit which lets you use stock disks, GDI have a kit for stock disk using Willwood calipers there on sale as well but there not cheap still under £700 though I'm sure.

This is probably stupid but there must be loads of fiat coup 20vt in the scrappys with brembo calipers as standard, is it possible to use the calipers on a diffrent car?

They look real!
but what a brass neck if someone clocked they were fake.

You would look such a tool if the silicone he suggests using melted and the cover was shredded by your wheel.

There are a few members with the Brembo upgrade. i know someone who had them on his track prepped 172, and the reality is you can get just as good braking performance by spending half the price of a new set of Brembo. Unless of course you just have to have the real red calipers.

Yeah Fiat coupe 20vt's use Brembo's on the front, not sure if they'll fit though (I used to have a 20vt plus ) could also see about getting them from a Focus RS too, again i'm, not sure if they'd fit.

Tbh though, decent fluid & discs, pads & braided hoses is prob enough for most people.

If its just for looks, imo wilwoods look just as good, if not better

True, or go for a 'Hi Spec' conversion, they are meant to be good kits.

 

[Waitey]

Any can be fitted. You just need to make a custom caliper carrier.

Careful with Hi Spec stuff......not quite the quality kit that you think.

Really ? I thought that their stuff was rated quite highly. I know of loads of Ford boys (cossies etc) who rate the gear.

 

[Fred@BTM]

nowt wrong with Hi-spec stuff, its not AP racing, Alcon, Brembo etc, but its pretty good

I wouldnt stick something thats multifit (for many cars and brake shapes, so bound not to fit snugly) on top of my calipers, mm away from my wheels... Accident waiting to happen surely
