Hey people

Im looking to upgrade the front brake calipers on my Tipo. I currently have 257mm brakes off a 2L Dedra. I want to fit 284mm 16v brakes but I will concider anything. Will any other brakes bolt straight on? Im not interested in 4 pot Brembo. cheers

Also, if you have some 16V calipers for sale let me know, cheers!

Ok Steve as I run this set up I know it works, tipo discs with coupe 16vt calipers, using 3mm spacers as the calipers run a little too close to the std rims. No problem with coupe wheels though. I found these to be really acceptable on the track, and they have bigger pistons then the std tipo ones, an easy upgrade.

Bravo 2.0 20v, Marea 2.0 20v, Marea 2.4JTD (a bit unlikely to find) all have 284mm discs.

Thanks guys. now I just got to find some.

Are Alfa calipers 155/156 etc the same mount spacing?

155 16v are the same as the sedici ones. 156 are different.

Thanks guys. Hey I found some on ebay. Coupe 16VT. They look quite different to Tipo 16V. They do bolt straight on eh? Im just worried there is something missing from these, care to take a look? cheers

If its the same design as the ones I had, looks like its missing a spring and some rubber slide covers. Rich can confirm if the coupe 16vt have/need the spring.

Or a chap on the Fiat Motor club Gb forum has some 16v calipers for sale - might be worth looking at

Mine look just like hell cats, yes they have and need the spring, but there were 2 types fitted to the 16vt, not sure of the difference though.
Steve your pictures dont work for me,

Here you go. I have about 1 day left to find some calipers

thats them, but you must get the spring too, sure they would be available seperate, but what pain to have to go digging for them.

Well I bought the calipers. Im not sure exactly what i'll need to get them on the car but at least I have a starting point.
