You all keep forgetting the car was designed in 1995. or so? It was norm, back then. BMW M3 had 15 inch wheels, I think 16" was serial even on porsche 911.
Have you driven a golf MK3? They should have put an anchor in it next to those brakes…
Or a honda CRX? Goes like hell, but can't stop at all!
Yes, the puma brakes are shit by todays standards, in those days that was how everyone did it…
Remember once in Detroit I saw a mustang shelby (Eleonor from Gone in 60 secs), His front discs were just about the size of a CD/DVD, and rear drums are just about as big as those on early pumas!!
That brakes must have been shocking! :wink:
Sparx said:The Brembo calipers are the same size as the Alcons which was the original plan but will not fit under the 16" wheels, and I'm going with the Brembo calipers along with the ST170 discs as it proves to be better financially in the long run. The conversion is from standard puma brake setup, I've never had ST170 front calipers on my car, only on the rear.
With regards to the 17" 7j speedlines, I've had them on the car for about... 6 years now so I can assure you they do fit lol. A slight rubbing on the inside of the arch on full lock and run 205/40/17 tyres.
