    Is that where you have to push the pedal harder and harder to get the same brain force?

    The later Fiat 2.0 20vT has brembo brake calipers, the discs are 305mm and usually referred to as the "brembo" brakes - thats probably what you've found. 305mm is too big, you want the non-brembo ones, i.e. 284mm.

    The holes need to be drilled out my 1mm each. I used either a 14mm or 15mm drill bit on mine, can't remember which off the top of my head, but they fitted snug as a bug.

    [edit] Fiat Coupe 16v Turbo (94-96) are the discs I got.

    Going on the cars spec stated in the 1st post, 16v 256 calipers & discs & if a big engine ever goes in, get some Cossie discs & some caliper spacers made up. Easy big disc conversion on a budget that retains good pedal feel.

    My 288's feel fine but wouldnt use them again I don't think.
