    I bought these brand new 4 piston Brembo calipers for an open wheel car, but have gone a different route. These have the part # 20.8662.00 and the BREMBO rep said they are for an import based on the dimensions of the pistons I told him. He said they are factory installed BREMBO calipers, but could not specify what vehicle. Here are a few pics...If anyone knows what these go to please let me know and I may able to cut someone a great deal.

    I am not going to lie....I ran out of options on finding out what they went to and this is my last ditch effort for some help in finding out what they fit. Thanks

    Viper Calipers are Brembo but they have the "Viper" logo
    Not Cadillac "V" Brembos
    Not Ford Brembos
    Not Land Rover Brembos

    Could be Fiat or Alfa Romeo

    Fiat Coupe'?

    Rep said that they could call the factory, but no-one ever answers the phone cause no-one can hear it. I was like wtf? I am completely baffled at this point. The distance between the bolt hole for mounting is 4-3/4", they do fit the rotor on my 13" cobra brakes, but do not fit the spindle. Also the pistons are too small imo for my mustang to use.

    Man, you guys are really helpful over here....I really mean that too. The guys on corral.net have just been like "you got screwed, unload em'" or otherwise. Guys on svtperformance laughed and said good luck. Sad thing is that I have been in the mustang community for 16+ years and have owned 7 svt vehicles (3 SVT Lightnings, 1 SVT Contour, and 3 SVT Cobra's) Go figure? I will seriously cut someone a killer deal if they can help me find out what they go to...that is if they are interested. Just trying to be honest here. Thanks again.

    I appreciate that, but they actually do not. The mounting bracket for the GT500 has a flat piece across the bottom and the piston sizes are MUCH larger than the ones I have. Plus they only come in black.

    Here are some other pics in another post I have

    I finally talked to a representative from Brembo. They were very nice and somewhat helpful. They said that just like the SRT-8 Brembo calipers, they very well may be manufactured for and by the manufacturer. They said there are thousands of calipers out there that carry their name, but they cannot trace every single set. The casting number will not justify what the calipers go, but she did give me a contact number for a guy in Miami who may recognize what the application is based on the brake pads.
