Here is the story of something I want to share with you and with some of GB members to maybe help me figure out.
There is a site here in sweden where people can post their cars on the net and show it off with pictures and descriptions.
What I have come across is that this particular guy has figured out that there is a specific BREMBO caliper that would fit on the A2 with no any big modifications.
The problem is that the guy doesnt want to share what he has come across so Im hoping that some one here will figure this out for us all as Im of big interest in upgrading my brakes on my A2.
What I can share is that the brand STOPTECH actually offers pads that will fit on the A2 and they work superbly for road use and ar not at all that much that expensive to what effect they give on the car. They last longer than oem's, they grip better than oem's, they dust less than oem's.
STOPTECH is highly recommended as I use on all my cars that can have this modification. Use it on both discs and pads on both my BMW's with only good feedback to give. They pinch so much better and last so much longer than oem as on my BMW it has a countdown to how many km's before my pads and discs are worn and once i fitted the STOPTECH discs and pads they lasted way longer than oem.
Any how here is a pic to demonstrate the brembo sitting on the A2 1.4i.
Also what I would like to share is his spec description of what the car is fitted with, some info might be poorly translated as I used google.
