aston martin calipers

i have the choice of a set of aston martin brembo calipers and just wondering how i would go about modding to fit the pulsar, need 32mm wide discs but dont know how to go about getting info on how to get anything else i need

do you have the discs with the calipers?

no just calipers

Your have to make up the mounting brackets to the hub ...... when i did a set for someone i made it them out of wood then got them machined up . Discs try typing in google 32mm wide discs comes up with quite a few matches but obviously you want the pcd of a 100 ideally and then you will need to work out what depth ie 330 mm but thats dependant on mounting of the caliper and wheel size so theres lots to think about lol

yeah i figured it wouldnt be east, a guy on sr20 site was planning this so i may sign up and drop him a pm, sounds like a decent mod

Yeah if you know somebody whos done the donkey work so to speak then it would be alot easier mate everything is possible .... but you dont want to be the guinea pig as thats the bit wich costs the money ....trying different discs etc

you can also buy some caliper adaptor at hispec, they provide some universal billet parts for different calipers ...

thanks fred i will drop them an email, they may be able to supply discs aswell do you think?

well i done some more searching and maybe found a solution, as my r has fto calipers and clio discs, the mod has been done on an fto before and brakets were made up from a guy on gto forum so im gonna speak with him to see if he can still make the mounts. im assuming this will work? the discs i need are 330mm so hopefully i can find a set from a clio 182 that will work with the calipers, but this all sounds a little too easy :/

maybe, but i send them an email, and i got no answers....so call them if you prefer...

clio 182 had 330 discs???  

I thought the clio discs were 280mm

Just had a look about godspeed do 5he 330mm discs at a bargain price of 1100 pounds and thats shipped straight to your door how nice and cheap is that  

 

The clio v6 had a 318mm disc but that was a solid disc not vented if you do a quick search there is a bit of info on the forums mate .

your calipers can maybe go with littlest discs, depends on the model and the pads on...
i'm sure you can go down to 310mm, and these will be easier to find, and cheapest!

it seems a popular mod with the s14 and you can buy the bracket but i think the s14 dont fit the r

Well ive spoken with a guy who gonna make a bracket and supply a set of discs and make them fit my setup, the discs are going to be willwood superlite 309x32mm discs and bells and redrilled to my pcd. so this gonna cost me around £500 for everything.

only other querry is...will the fit behind my 16" oz ultralaggeras?

I doubt it very much tbh

you will see!!

it's always that tough call to weigh up if its worth building up a brake kit from different parts - brembo calipers from one car or another and then sourcing the correct disks - and the fiddle of mounting it all Vs an off the shelf kit but second hand !

I toyed with the idea for ages but eventually got a 2nd hand HiSpec kit as the cost of putting everything together was negligible - if not more once you put all the effort in !

Seemed like an interesting project - but just became a ball ache.

Saying that - hope the Astin calipers work out for you - would be a cool mod !

Astin - Aston - who knows what's better !  

Im getting the calipers for free so i figured it may look cool and worth a try as £500 is probably what i would pay for a decent 2nd hand set of brakes, was going to get them powdercoated red first so they will be a brand new set of brembo brakes and not aston branded.

im hoping there aint much ballache with them as the guy will take the hub and make them all fit and send me the complete kit, may have to part exchange my alloys for 17's if they dont fit the 16's

does anyone know if the clio 172 discs are only used with fto brakes because the 280mm diameter or are they totally different to standard gtir discs? sorry for all the questions just trying to get everything planned first

for sure they are thiner
