Installing 4-Piston Brake Calipers

 

In pursuit of greater braking power, I decided to install 4-piston (4-pot) calipers on the Giulia Super. For years I have looked at the possibilities, only to shrink away from the potential costs of doing a serious brake upgrade. For instance, the ultimate brake upgrade is offered by "Mov'it" at http://www.ultimategarage.com/bigbrake1.html. However, the Alfa 105/115 front brake kit costs $1995.00, WELL beyond my means. Another possibility is the Volkswagen transport brakes, with larger caliper pistons. I nearly bought a set of 4-pot BMW 2002tii brake calipers, but ended up instead with these Outlaw calipers, as they are much, much lighter, and also (as a bonus) quite pretty.
