Many thanks! I take them from a local dealer here in Italy. He makes custom brake system...
But unfortunately I think that they don't fit without a spacer :(

Haha cheers mate, I know - was too busy trying to get the shot! They're taken on a Canon 600D with some minor post processing work in photoshop.

I'm not an expert to comment on that unfortunately.

BUT in my opinion I imagine it would be OK? Everything there in that area is solid, so if there is space now... there always should be... unless the wheel ever buckles or something.

The only other thing is expansion, but in the grand scheme of things an expansion of 2mm is probably actually quite a lot and unlikely I'd imagine... even when it all heats up

the expansion is my first worry. i'll use them in tracks and the temperatures will be so hot, but anyway i think they don't expand themselves a lot.. maybe a fraction of millimeter.. but more than 1mm is so much.. tomorrow I'll contact my tuner and I'll ask him more info.

Cool keep us posted!

As you say when things expand they expand I don't think it will be in 1 or 2 millimeter measurements as that is just a bit too extreme... if they've got that hot you've probably got bigger problems lol

Closest manufacturer clearance I've seen is on the Veloce or Sportiva versions of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta with the factory Brembos looks like around 3mm clearance. I'd be tempted to add 3mm spacers if I was you.

My tuner said that a 5mm is better, exactly for the disk + caliper expansion...

The problem in Italy (and he knows well) is that the spacers are very "illegal" and the authoritys are very careful about them.. Spacers Are the first things that they look at when they stop you...

now i have the stock brakes because i was just trying if the brembo fit or not. i would like to complete the brakes kit with painting the rear calipers in yellow (now reds) and put slotted 356mm disks. so than, install them all in once.

sorry for the OT :sweatsmile:

What about? Behind my tuner or behind the polices?



Their cars aren't fast at all... They neither run...

Police and spacers
 
Both cars snow foamed, washed and dried. Weather glorious but cars already got particles of sand / dust.

Second what jassy said, STUNNING. Surely you've got more pictures you can put up?

The only problem you've got now is keeping it that way!

Ha ha, brilliant. Sadly I am old enough to remember that show (just)!
At the end of next month they'll have been at it a year......... to build a single detached house a similar size to ours which took 5 months.
