After 2 years with my 5door Stilo 1.2 16v I decided to upgrade the front brakes.

I found brake calipers from the 1.8 Stilo and bought new discs.

From 257mm diameter and 22mm thickness (1.2-1.4-1.6) to 284mm and 22mm.

I hope to feel better braking performance.

Need to buy new brake pads to complete the conversion

I cleaned one already
