why dont you use the GTV 3L hubs?
they use the 305mm brembo's and are still a 5 stud.
ive got a half shaft next to my desk so i can check if they fit!

i think the easiest way for me to have brembos is to fit the 305mm discs & callipers and use the suspension upright from a GTA or 3.2V6 GT. The 305mm Brembo setup will fit inside 16" wheels apparently!

Marco, Perhaps we could come to an arrangement for swaps? I've got a whole fiat coupe haha
Gunzi - I'll be honest, the car isn't in the best of conditions and was one of the main reasons why i chose this over a mint condition one. My current mindset is that the Fiat would need a considerable amount of work, time and effort to make it a half decent respectable looking car. I wanted a running engine, loom, downpipe, turbo, intercooler, radiator etc etc. This is simply the most cost effective way. Its not all doom and gloom... Once i've salvaged the engine bits, tuning parts and usable exhaust bits I'll either put it up for sale without an engine or offer out the parts in return for helping with the engine change. This then gives those that have the technical knowledge but not the fund-age a chance to repair those 20vt hiding in garages. Had the Fiat been in a good condition then i'd have thought twice but as it stands it would need a lot of work!

Just incase anyone was interested Engine is finally in. Just to add all the shiny bits once we've sorted the plumbing and wiring out.

Ahhh it'll not stand out... you'd be hard pushed to recognise the difference between standard and modified
