    Hello. I was wondering, do any of you know if the Brembo 4-piston brake upgrade kit would fit inside the standard Testarossa 16 inch center-lock wheels?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Dear Ferraristi,

    A few people on this site has done the brembo upgrade. I've never heard of any upgrade with the 16" wheels in place. I think you will have to upgrade to 18" to clear those wonderful calipers.

    The rotors are 15" so 16" wheels wont do it

    I've done the upgrade as well...new wheels, bro. Tremendous improvement in braking performance across the board. Now I just need some ABS =^)

    If you do the 4 wheels upgrade, then you have to go to 18". If you do the front caliper and disk upgrade you don't. I did the 4 wheel upgrade and installed the 18" wheels. I have the front Brembo upgrade I took off which had the 16" on it. If your interested pm me about the front upgrade, if you want to keep the 16". I will note that it also had spacers on the front and rear. Not sure if these were needed or just added for increasing the track.

    Thanks for all the info guys. I also found this on the net. I'm sure you guys heard of Movit brakes. They are a German firm that makes aftermarket big brake kits. They have a 6 piston brake kit that fits 18" wheels for the Testarossa, but they also have a 4 piston kit that fits the standard 16" wheels (they actually have a picture of a Testarossa with the OEM 16" wheels with the kit on its website).
