can you take the brembos off a 20vt and put them on a 20vna. im running turbo plus wheels so clearance isnt an issue.
would i only need to change the calipers. . . or would i need to change the disks and various other parts too?

No, there's a whole lot more to be changed Mario, struts, hubs, driveshafts (I seem to recall) and possibly track rod ends. If you do a search, probably even just scroll through this section you'll find a very recent thread on this about the 16v/vt which is very similar and should give you some good info. If you can source the parts from someone like Joe then it won't be horrendously expensive, just the fitting to sort after that. However.........the big question is "why"? The brakes on the 20v are very, very good when serviced properly and they don't squeal either You can paint the callipers to make them look better, although not as sexy as Brembo's they still look okay and best of all they work without wakening up the neighbourhood!

Thing is until you've driven a coupe with brembos you don't realise just how much better they are over n/a callipers. Parts needed for a conversion: Brembos and discs. Hubs. Struts with n/a springs. Track rod ends. Brake hoses and solid pipework to callipers. Adapted drive shafts. 20vt rims or 16v rims with 20mm spacers. Job done

why have i seen it mentioned a number of times that the struts/springs need to be replaced when doing brake upgrades or 20vT conversions?
all of the 20v hubs/struts have 35mm mountings, i still use my Marea Struts & springs on my conversion....

Interesting to know about the 20v N/A hubs, as i'm guessing they would be a very close, if not identical match to the 16v hubs, as these are 25mm and use a 10mm bolt

Ry Yes they did Ryan, the 20v n/a struts, hubs and discs are smaller then the 20vt, and i'll check on the 16v to see what size these are but from memory I think the struts and disc diameter are the same you just need to change the hub so that you can fit the brembo calliper.
