Also; could the 166 310mm disc's fit into our calipers maybe..? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alfa-166-3-2-v...=item439acec13fTheir inner diameter is also smaller so overall the area is substantially larger. (If one could find oversized Carbotech pads Bob would certainly be my uncle..?)

the Alfa Romeo 330mm calipers bolt on as the bolt diameter is the same.
166 Brembos will not fit.
As for the 166 Disc's fitting, this will need to be trial and error.
one thing with the 330mm brembos, you will need to change your wheels as they do not fit under standard coupe wheels.

Thanks for the input. As for the 166 Disc's fitting, this will need to be trial and error.
one thing with the 330mm brembos, you will need to change your wheels as they do not fit under standard coupe wheels. Yes, that's a good reason to try & fit the 310mm ones which fits inside the 16" wheels, incl. some trial&error.. But I like that sort of thing. Pic of the disc's, Alfa 166 left and Coupe 20VT right:

marco is the 330mm calipers pretty much a bolt on replacement then ? and i take it we could either get 2 piece discs made or re drill alfa ones to suit out stud pattern
whats a very very rough ballpark figure for doing this ?

If your sourcing caliper you need to make sure they arent for a newer model which have different mounts. Also you will need suitable 17" alloys. Not sure on the disks.

330 discs is damn heavy, and it's pointless upgrade if not on 4x4 Coupe or at least above 400HP and trackdays a lot...... Useful brembo "upgrade" is 310mm discs with Alfa 166 Brembos, Alfa 145 1.9JTD bigger hubs and custom plate between the hub and the caliper.

Useful brembo "upgrade" is 310mm discs with Alfa 166 Brembos, Alfa 145 1.9JTD bigger hubs and custom plate between the hub and the caliper. I only have ca 340hp but I run out of brakes anyway.. (I have the most hardcore 305mm setup already) so I need something more. Or I have to back off on the track but that's just no fun! I'm thinking about the 310mm Alfa 166 disc's with Coupe calipers as I don't want to change wheel size, however I'm still not sure it will be worth it. But MTEC have them anyway: http://www.mtecbrakes.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=1099They're even a bit cheaper!

what makes the alfas discs that much of an upgrade with only 5mm per ? is there something else going on that makes them better and i assume we would have to redril those to 4x98
the lancia setup sounds good but whats the chances of finding stuff for it ?

Just a little, probably. But you could keep the std wheels w existing R-tires on. Taz: are those custommade alu-hubs? If so were they fitted offset from the std position and how did you solve the caliper position?

Per, yes mate, the alu' bells are custom, but they weren't perfect, as I had to shave a tad off the inner face of the pads to avoid it rubbing on the bell lip, a bit of a pain, but the pad surface is not affected, just the edge of the backing plate

They inspire much more confidence. I guess it depends on your requirements but I cant ever see better brakes as pointless....
Yes for sure there is much more confidence......and if brakes on some car is bad - better brakes upgrade is not pointless...... But it's pointless upgrade if tyres can not handle more braking force and slide anyway.....because there is a point where if OE brake system is fine and OK, it can offer more that tires can "grip".......good discs and pads IMO is OK for OE Coupe calipers if running standard tires......if semi's used then upgrade is good...... So maybe people must first be sure that there is still a problem when appropriate discs and pads is used, and only then upgrade to bigger calipers.... My point of view......

Taz, i have the same calipers as you..and yes, with the aformentioned alfa logo how did you remove it on yours ? or was it a straight re paint re sticker job ? The car is down a Barbz,so i can`t check,I`m guessing the Alfa sticker is under the laquer so can`t be `polished /cut ` off
was Paul S,now just paul...Member since Oct 2000,Coupe may be FATALLY injured - :(oh no it's not

I removed my 330mm alfa stickers by rubbing them down before painting with caliper paint, then applied brembo sticker then lacquered. They were are now gloss black with silver brembo decals, with NASCAR two piece discs and pagid yellows its all for sale .....but not cheap Go lovely on a steel grey per.....
