They are big buggers, unsprung weight is a big deal too. For the price though you cant really argue. My calipers weigh the same as a midge's dick but unfortunately so does my wallet

Good brake setup. Looks good and they do stop very well.

2.0 16v with good discs and pads give better feel though i think.

But im with Jambo, 4 pots are teh way to go. The whole setup weighs as much as 1 v6 caliper

Caliper + discs are a straight swap yeah, its a pretty simple job really.
Coupe discs fit, can't remember if its the turbo or valver model though, but the size/PCD is the same just about. Donna has the Fiat discs on D5NNA, black diamonds ones.

PCD is 4x98. the calipers don;t fi the punto though. the red brembos would be nice
