Apparently Brembo have set up a manufacturing plant in the US which makes sourcing many of these types of upmarket calipers much easier(and cheaper)....even through amazon.
Here my new front 4 piston U.S. made brembo calipers are from a 2013 ATS Cadillac and they fit up to 343 discs (originally used on a harrop caliper setup) and use adapter brackets I made myself from 12mm plate and using a simple spacer method to put the caliper in the centre of the disc and it all fits....and the distance on the adapter bracket between centres of the two sets of holes is 18mm although the caliper mounting bolts are 14mm at 5 inch centres and the spacer thickness between bracket and stub mounting face is 6mm and stock vr/s brake hoses fit the caliper like they were made for it. The 14mm allen headed set screws are 12.5 tensile grade and needed a flat and spring washer to space the thread out enough so it didnt touch the disc on the other side...allen head was so big I didnt have a allen key big enough.
bracket mounted on stub 6mm spacer between new bracket and stub and 3.5 mm spacer on outside so stock vt 12x1.5mm bolts fit all the way through the mounting threads on the stub but still dont touch anything it shouldnt
pads contact nearly the whole machined area
These calipers take pads that also fit a ve redline or some evos and wrxs...db1678
You can get these calipers brand new for around 80 dollars US each on amazon ...click here
You can get all compounds of pads and the necessary pins kits easily in Australia ....you can use any stock vr/s brake hose originally from the single piston stock calipers ...even use your old banjo bolts...with new copper washers.
These brembo calipers were from a 2013 ats cadillac....they originally use a 30 mm thick 330mm dia disc so the 343mm 32mm disc I am using is tight but still fits fine and nothing touches anything it shouldnt and the pad contacts the whole face of the disc.
there is no crossover pipe as the outboard pistons are fed fluid internally. After I fitted it all up, it gravity bled easily.
Setup fits 18 inch wheels with 5 or so mm to spare
