Brake calipers from assetto corsa/4200

Have you been looking on e-bay ?????
I want to know if my 3200 will look wierd with just 1 new style wheel ( 1 new wheel avaialbe on ebay !!). Are they any different apart from colour. If not then whilst you have gone to the trouble of removing the old ones why not spray them red and save the money. Personally I like the black ones, but my car is black so I guess thats why. I assume that this guy must have loads of parts for sale from a trashed 2001 car.

yep, they're the ones, thought it might be easier to swap than have the calipers sprayed, also thought might be just as expensive, any ideas anyone ?

not sure that the assetto brakes are any different to the standard cars.

Nick from Dettaglio with his Assetto could put us straight here I think..

I am sure the assetto corsa calipers are identical to a 3200 but they came with harder compound pads and different brake hoses. Nick has posted detail somewhere previously.

Sorry for not responding sooner. I don't know if the calipers are the same. I suspect they are BUT....

My AC came with Pagid race pads. I suffererd huge problems with these pads and eventually changed to standard 3200 pads after much moaning to, and a set of warped discs paid for by, MUK.

Although the pads from a 3200 fit, the caliper on the AC seems a bit larger. Just take a look at the clearance between the caliper and the wheel on an AC - the caliper is a gnat's d&*k away from the inside of the wheel. I recall having a look at a 3200 and there seems much more clearance.

So, if you change the calipers check that they will fit behind the 3200 wheels, otherwise you may have to change those as well and the AC wheels aren't cheap at around £600 each.
