You will need new wheels if you're running standard alloys - the coupe's 16" bbs alloys barely fit over the callipers

No idea about the mounting

The mounting points are the same. I'm hoping to do this conversion if I can find some calipers at the right price.

Oh really? So Brembos and the associated discs would fit my crapmobile?

Why bother? In normal use the Lucas callipers are far superior. Cheaper to run (the Brembos need £87 pads from the dealers), they don't squeal like the Brembos, they don't have complex and expensive maintenance procedures involving broken bolts, stud removers, and custom made pipes like the Brembos do, they don't require new wheels, and they're much easier to bleed

The only time you'd be better off with Brembos is when you're regularly driving so hard your Lucas brakes are pouring smoke

Yes, well, but, but... the discs are slightly larger ^^

yeah i have got a set of brembo 4 pot callipers ready fitted new seals to them i know i need to change the brake lines and the discs i dnt know where u got a quote for £87 for the pads from i can get a set of pads and discs for £120 + vat yeah i knew i had to change the alloys bermbos only squeak necuase they anit been fitted correctly or copper greased up properly but you can get a set of anti sqeal shims that bolt on the inside of the calipers where the pads fit mainly evo's have this problem ive worked with alot of evos subarus fiat coops 20 VT cupras etc there are too many manufacturers that use the brembo system but i find there far easier to work on than conventional brakes.... thanks for your help

if your looking for a set of brembo 4 pots i know there not peugeot but they all use the same mounting points ( the brembo calipers that is) goto http://www.fccuk.org/
