Hi there

I was given in some spares for my wagon a pair of front Brembo 4 pot calipers and disks. Now the disks look like they have seen better days and seem to be around 318-320mm. Will a larger size disk fit the caliper or will I have to look for the 320mm disks? If larger, what size to fit under 18" Oz alloys?

Thank you peeps

 

Would need 320mm discs as the caliper is spaced for this size.

 

Not necessarily , if you put a picture of your caliper up for us to see , if its a grand turismo caliper , you can fit them on a 330mm disc , if your discs are 320mm it sounds like it could be a red dot kit , if it is , I can make you 330mm discs to fit your bells , along with 5mm spacers to fit between the calipers and brackets so you can run the larger discs.

Cheers Ian

ps , Ant , can I remind you about the discs you had from me

 

I have them here I just keep forgetting to get Ben to drop them in, I will post them out tomorrow

 

Ok cheers , whats this I hear from my Ben you have seen the light and ordered an M3 ?

 

This may well be true Still have the X though as I could not bear to part with it.

 

Here's one of the front and back.





Hope the pics are of use

 

So were the pics any good Ian?

 

Hi
They are the Gran Turismo calipers , and can take up to a 330mm disc , we should be able to make discs for your bells to keep the cost down , a pair of discs would be £325.

You would have to send us your bells to take measurements from to make them

Cheers Ian

 

Are the Gran Turismo calipers any good? Are they basic or a better quality 4 pot?
I may actually sell them you see

Thanks

 

They are a good caliper , they are smaller then the STi ones though , these calipers are fitted to cars like the Seat Leon , Lotus Esprit , and the same size , but slightly different to the Focus RS , Fiat Coupe ect.
They would be a big improvement over the Subaru 4 pots
Cheers Ian

 

Can you tell me roughly how long these disks would have left inthem please?


I know I have still got to finish cleaning them up


And also how much are a set of pads for them at the disk size they are already?

Thank you

 

They look quite rusty in the vents , rule of thumb generally is once the grooves have worn away , the discs need replacing , most including me set the groove depth to 1mm
Cheers Ian

 

Ok cheers, they have been sitting around for a long time apparently though. How much for pads to fit 320mm?

 

Call EBC as they ill make some if you cant find them anywhere else.

 

I think I will sell these as I don't have that sort of money for disks

Not sure what there worth though.

Any ideas as to what I could get for them before I post them up in the for sale forum?

Thanks peeps

 

I sold mine on the Bay for £180 after about 3 listings.
I did have a £250 buy now and tried selling on here first.
they were more difficult to sell because of the cost of the rotors.

 

Ok thanks for that

Anyone else please?

 

I'd give you £150 mate,like above comment it's the discs that will make most steer clear I'm afraid at £325 a pair
At that amount it would mean it would cost £475 to put them on any car.

 

Thanks for the offer, but I will hold fire on that atm

I got a few bits to sell and a few bits to get, so I will start a for sale thread soon as I would be up for swaps etc on all bits.

Watch the parts for sale forum lol

 

I have now put these up for sale in the parts forum.

Have a look if interested
