I want to fit Gold brembos on classic but i want to keep my 16' wheels, VOLK RACING 16X7, +45 OFFSET, i use 20mm eibach pro spacers.
Will they fit?

most likely not, though the only way to tell is find a mate with an STi and try one of your wheels on................the gold Brembo caliper is a numb old beast!!

17 inch is the minimum for these, they fill my 17 inch wheels on my STi and there isnt much room near the caliper.
If you wanted brembo's then you could go for the ones you find on the pug 406 3ltr or the fiat 20v turbo coupe, they will work well with a 308mm brake setup
Or have a look here>> www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk

Bummer. I'd love to go for Brembos on my 16s, but alas doesn't look like they'll fit. How much can those ones off the 406 or 20v turbo be had for from a scrappies?

You would possably have to hunt around for them, the Fiat ones definately fit, a full 308mm kit from godspeed is 950 quid and that should be all new parts.

What, so the Fiat ones have got the same bolt spacing where they mount onto the hub? And the same banjo fitting for the brake hose? So if I can find a pair of them, all I need to do is get the 308mm discs sorted out?

think you need spacer brackets as well for the calipers but not sure....... was a guy on the sdic not long ago selling some seat cupra r 4 pots and discs,with spacer brackets included,apparently better braking performance than the subaru items


edited....apparently no brackets needed lol
