Martice,

You can install a lot of differnt type of brakes :

Lancia 2.0 HF (Brembo four piston)
Fiat Coupe 2.0 20v (Brembo four piston)
Mistubishi Lancer EVO (Brembo four piston & two piston rears)
Subaru Impreza 2.0 (alloy four piston)
VW Golf II/III/IV is a good choice for rears.


Rgds,

Bump... I am curious as well :)

There are some really really nice brakes on other Euro cars that I bet might be easy to convert if we are creative enough.

Think BMW, Saab, Opel Omega (beefy Brembo rotors), and so forth.
