Brakes

We have developed and manufactured this fantastic new big brake kit for 916 series 3.0 V6 GTV & Spider. As owners will testify, these cars have notoriously poor brakes as standard and they are particularly inadequate given the performance of the V6 engine! This kit replaces the OE set-up with Brembo 330mm grooved and vented sport discs and huge 6 pot calipers. The calipers are machined from aircraft grade billet aluminium and feature stainless steel castellated pistons for durability and minimal heat transfer. The kit comes complete with bespoke aluminium brackets which bolt to the standard upright and stainless steel braided hoses to connect the calipers to the standard brake hoses. This is fully compatible with our 4 line braided hose kit.

We have done extensive road and track testing to perfect this kit and the result is awesome stopping power with excellent pedal feel and sensitivity. We carried out the track testing at Bedford Autodrome GT circuit which is notoriously tough on brakes. Lap after lap it was easy to attack every braking area with great confidence and it was impossible to induce any fade, even during prolonged sessions. The increased level of bite made it possible to brake far later than ever possible with standard brakes.

On the road, the brakes are superbly powerful and effortless, making the car a joy to drive quickly down twisty B roads, with the added security of having awesome stopping ability in the event of an emergency. The improvement over the standard Alfa brakes is extraordinary – this kit has proved to be an amazing upgrade for the Alfaholics 3.0 V6 GTV and has made the car so much more fun to drive quickly!

The kit requires a minimum of 17″ diameter wheels.

In addition to the kit, we can supply either Ferodo DS2500 or DS3000 pads.

Twin Spark brakes are notoriously average with standard brake pads. Suffering from lack of bite from high speed and a tendancy to fade easily during spirited driving. Transform your brakes by fitting the ultimate fast road & track day compound brake pads. They operate superbly from cold, have unbelievable stopping power and exhibit no fade.

V6 brakes with standard pads fade notoriously quickly when driven hard, soon putting the dampeners on any fast cross-country drive or trackday. These Ferodo DS2500 pads are the best compound for fast road and track day use.

They operate superbly from cold and exhibit no fade, producing a consistent firm brake pedal all day. We tested these pads with our Alfaholics braided brake lines on our 3.0 V6 GTV at the Nurburgring Nordschleife and were amazed with the abilities of the brakes.

(Also fits 156 GTA with 305mm Brembo brakes)

Full competition spec pad compound  for hard track day and race use. Extremely high coefficient of friction across the full temperature range.

(Also fits 156 GTA with 305mm Brembo brakes).

Pair of stainless steel handbrake cable retaining clips to fit to the rear spring pan arms.  Supplied complete with stainless steel fixing bolts and spring washers.
