i have the big second series gta brakes and they fit the 16 inch wheels.
the gta disks must be machined to open up the center hole to fit our hub.
the adaptor for the calipers was made in south afrika by barry.


Do you have any drawings for the "adaptors". I guess you mean a bracket to bolt the caliper to the hub?

Everything I read suggests the SZ/RZ brakes are not up to the job Confused First series GTA (also Fiat Coupe) brakes are readily available here for not much money.

I have 166 Brembos on my 155 Q4 and they are stunning!

hi wrinx,
sorry i don't have any drawings.
the perfect budget solution is to use the rs racing kit: adaptors for the original calipers but bigger disks!
good solution!!

Sure looks interesting, but I do not like spacers Smile
Has anybody tried these already??

A 5mm spacer is nothing to worry about...many Alfa 155s had them from the factory.

I'm running with 15mm spacers on my Q4...no problems at all.
