VERY interesting brembo set up....

ok,
just spent the past 3 hours in my garage mocking up a new brake setup for my bzr.

it involves:
1: 4pot brembo calipers
2: 305mm disc
3: bzr hubs
4: 3mm spacers
5: a round file
6: it all bolts on!!!!!!!! no fancy machining, no custom parts, all OE
ok, managed to take pics of the brake kit.

1st, take a pair of sss ae111 hubs. you can either remove or cut back the backing plate. i decided to remove it.

next, have a pair of 305mm discs to hand. because they are 4x98 you have to file the holes outward 1mm. this allows it to fit onto the hub.

good thing about the discs, they are pillar vented so dissapate heat better.

prior to mounting them, you need 3mm spacers to put between the hub and the disc. this is to space the disc so it sits
in the centre of the caliper

placed behind 15inch wheels, they fill it comfortably, but no space for the calipers.

next up, the brembo calipers. they are from a fiat coupe 20v turbo. no modification needed to these at all.

time to fit the calipers. as you can see, they bolt holes line up perfectly, it was like it was made for the ae111.

you can make out the disc in relation to the caliper/pads. dead centre.

all bolted on, ready to roll.

a few more pics of the clearances.

i will be fitting them to my car once my current brakes are totally knackered. in about 4-5000miles.


i also weighed the new brake setup, the calipers are very light considering their size, and help offset the extra weight of the disc.
i haven't weighed the stock components to compare, but i dont think the new setup will be much heavier than the stock setup.
they will be weighed once i do the conversion on my car.

heres the disc

and the caliper and nearly new pads. forged aluminium means they are very light for what they are.

7.9kg for the disc and 3.8 kg for the caliper and pads.

11.7kg + 100g for 3mm spacers = 11.8kg per side

watch this space for some brake distance stopping tests

Sweet! But the ae111 super strut suspension is hard to find as its a well known upgrade on most toyota cars

Do the Brembo kit come with carriers?

If so..i can jus buy the kit and disks and should bolt up to the ep...correct?

from what i read youve still got to get a different suspension set up so wont this come to a good 600 pounds them calipers second hand still go for around 200 300 unless you buy from a mug

15s will fit just need longer studs and another space. Providing you use hub centric spacers should be fine
