260 and 190 brakes

diplo-matt · 2nd June 2012, 17:59

Am i right in thinking these are the same, I want to upgrade my ZT-T with these, however some on ebay list as 260 and some as 190, are they fundamentally the same. I have used the search function but im still not 100%

Many thanks

I'm on the understanding that the front calipers etc are the same,

Based on what I have been very recently told, I also believe that the front calipers of the V8 and 190 are the same. However, it may be worth saying that they fit onto opposite sides of the car i.e. the RH caliper on the V8 is the LH calliper on the 190. I am certain that far more knowledgeable people here may be able to confirm or correct this.

Regards,

Dave

The fronts are the same the rears are different, I was talking to georgetrike the other day and he has a set he had blasted and cleaned up he was going to fit but then he couldn't use his winter wheels so he might have a nice set of fronts for sale

Front brakes at least, the V8 has the 190 brakes but rotated 180° around the discs (i.e. at the back rather than the front).

As above, fronts are the same size & the rears are unique to the V8's with 4-pot AP Racing calipers & 332mm Discs.
