166 Brembo Calipers

[fochista]

great to hear it was helpful

Yes, it was. A guy in austria wanted 500 Euros (for 2 calipers), not Zloty. He argumented that new ones cost about 500 Euro per piece at the Alfa Romeo local dealer...

He will own them for another few years, I think...

Thanks to you again!

world is really small anyway, i can see that You are from Austria, my father lives in Vienna for about 30 years right now

We are not that far from each other. Would be nice to meet you and your Q4 sometimes...

if anyone will need something from PL just let me know, i can help as probably i know the language quite well

Hi, guys!

Does anyone know which are the specs (length, thread) for 166 Brembo caliper's fixing screws (the big ones)? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Cris.

If anyone wants a set of calipers off a 166 for 180 euro plus delivery from Ireland my friend has a set for sale. Also, what brand off discs are ye running with these set ups?

I have a V6 166 myself running the standard size discs from an English company called Mtec and Ferodo DS2500 pads and they are perfectly fine, I am using just grooved discs and Castrol SRF brake fluid and have yet to experience any brake fade.

I agree, I run a good quality dot 5 brake fluid and Ferodo DS2500s on the GTV and heat is not a problem in 20 minute trackday sessions. But that said the DS 2500 is just average in braking power, nothing impressive.

Damien, will your friend send the calipers to South Africa?

I can ask and see how much it is to del over there. I will give him a ring tomorrow.

The 2500's are only really a fast road pad I wouldn't be too trusting in them for the track. The best pads I've ever experienced in a car are Carbon Lorraine Cl6 pads on my 156 with 284mm discs never got an ounch of fade or loss in power but they were loud very dusty and mental money to be fair.

The 3000 Ferodo's should be better on track I would imagine.
