Tarox Disc brakes

[Giant Robo]

I would like to ask if the Tarox disc brakes and pads for Alfa 146 would fit on a Bravo? THanks.

coupe discs will fit

as i've found out, after market discs are difficult to come by, don't know about the 146 but the discs from the coupe will fit and there's a much better range available for most of the major manufacturers. they have slightly less offset (about1.5mm) than the bravo, so you need to space the back of the caliper slightly, or shave down your new pads to make them fit! they messure 287mm which is the same as some of the hgt bravos ( you didn't say which model you have) but will fit on a standard bravo (257mm disc) and should work with your standard calipers. i've been using a coupe ebc turbo groove set up with green stuff pads for about 3 months now and braking is much improved. hope this helps.

Red Dot Brakes

I have a complete set of Red Dot discs and pads and I must say that I think they are not good. The reason is that they are my 2nd set from the manufacturers after the 1st set deteriorated around the rim of the disc and pads and made a really loud howling noise on braking after 1.5yrs and 14k (they sold it to me cost price s a goodwill gesture)
the 2nd set are still no better than the originals, bit soft and no bite to it. I have heard of good results with the Red Dot discs and EBC pads though (the Red Dot ones sheds dust like mad).
I think that's what I'll get for pads if these ones don't hold out like the 1st set.

Tarox and Coupe

Tarox have had mixed reports amongst the Coupe community...apparently their Quality is nowhere near as good as it used to be (to the extent that some people have experienced 2 or 3 sets of discs warp).

The offset for a Coupe is the same as a Bravo as far as I know - ET35. Stay away from the 20v Turbo as that has a different brake set up (big brembo caliper).
