I think I may have just wasted money on a pair of Brembo calipers from a 2008 TDV8. I wanted to fit them to my 2009 facelift but I’m told they won’t fit. Mine has the TRW calipers on.

I’m not an expert, never done any brake upgrades, but according to the thread below, which you may have read, it seems 4 pot and 6 pot Brembos have a different calliper bolt hole size, so are not easily interchangeable.

Funny you should say that. They sent me a pair of Sport calipers by mistake. They are being swapped next week. I may well cancel the replacements and just send these back 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

I’m told the Sport calipers are the same as the L332 apart from the weights attached to them? In which chase, shouldn’t the 08 L322 ones fit or is there another difference?

The hold spacing on the L322 4 pots is smaller than the spacing on the 6 pots The spacing of the non Brembo carriers on the facelift 2010MY is the same as the 6 pot Brembos, which is the same as that of the 4 pot Brembos fotted to the L320 Sport |

As per last post, the mounting holes are spaced differently

Even if they fit, they might not have the braking power equivalent to the standard brakes or the 6 pots. Not worth the risk to be honest- I’ll send them back 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

Correct. Bigger holes and wider apart |
