Brake caliper adapter for Alfa Romeo 156/147/GT

Front brake caliper adapter for Alfa Romeo 156/147/GT

Adapters allow the installation of a 4 piston [Alfa Romeo 156 Q4 / 147 GTA] BREMBO caliper on a brake disk 330 x 32 mm [Alfa Romeo 156 Q4/147 GTA]

Technical data

Attention: Compatible brake caliper and brake disc OE numbers are specified in the table above. We cannot guarantee installation success with other components not listed.

The set consists of adapter + mounting screws.

The 330 x 32 mm [Alfa Romeo 156 Q4/147 GTA] disc combined with a 4 piston [Alfa Romeo 156 Q4 / 147 GTA] BREMBO caliper allows high and repeatable braking power.

The adapters are made of high-quality duralumin/aluminium magnesium, which ensures a low dead weight (including low unsprung mass), combined with a high mechanical strength comparable to steel.

The adapters are anodized for corrosion protection.

Depending on the rim model used, it may be necessary to use spacer rings, this depends on the ET parameter of the rim.

Important information

To make the most of the modification consisting of replacing the brake calipers with more effective ones, it is also a good idea to take care of the brake hoses and replace them with steel braided hoses.

When installing brake discs with a thickness of 30 mm, it is recommended to use brake pads with a height of 15-15.4 mm (standard pads are 16 mm high).

If you change to a larger brake disc diameter, it is worth ordering longer brake lines. Their length should be appropriate for the difference in brake disc radius.

• Example:
• if the old brake disc has a diameter of 300 mm, its radius will be 150 mm.
• the new brake disc has a diameter of 330 mm, so its radius is 165 mm
• this way we get a difference in the brake disc radius of 15 mm
• the new brake lines should be longer than this minimum value

Brake caliper adapters are a group of products called "racing use only". Their use in road cars is regulated by national/local legislation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material are brake caliper adapters made of?

Brake caliper adapters are made of aluminum magnesium, which is widely used in motorsports. It is characterized by high mechanical strength, comparable to steel, and a low dead weight, 70% less than steel.

Are the brake caliper adapters painted?

No, the brake caliper adapters are not painted for safety reasons

Are the brake caliper adapters corrosion resistant?

Yes, the brake caliper adapters are anodized to protect them from corrosion.

What does the net weight indicated in the description mean?

The specified net weight determines the weight of the brake caliper adapter itself without mounting screws, which is a constant value.

Are mounting screws included with the brake caliper adapters?

Yes, the brake caliper adapters always include mounting screws to screw the adapter to the steering knuckle and the brake caliper to the adapter. Additionally, optional centering rings for the brake discs are available if needed.

Can I order additional services when purchasing brake caliper adapters?

In addition to the sale of brake caliper adapters, upon delivery, additional services can be provided, including: brake caliper milling, brake disc machining (turning centering holes, drilling mounting holes, etc.)

What torque should be used to tighten the mounting screws?

The torque values with which the mounting screws of the brake caliper adapters should be tightened are always indicated on the packaging of the screws included in the set.
