If its the set that seat used to offer then it should bolt on no problem. You need min 18" wheels though for caliper clearance. Might be a good idea to do your brake lines and upgrade brake fluid too.

thanks for your answer but I think that I will have is a little bit problem. Rims is not problem I have 19" My chassis is from factory Sport up but my original components are from 1.6 patrol and I have 50mm diameter silencer. I know that I must change all parts from brakes include main carrier. I am looking for somebody who changed its. I have write components but I like verify their. I would like forget on nothing. I will find somebody ???

345mm brakes on a 1.6 are a bit over the top aren't they? it's not that you need epic brakes for a 1.6. However, if you like the look then fair play to you. i would have saved some money and gone for the 312mm brakes and painted the calipers. But, as i said it's up to you as it's your car.

From the sound of it your wanting to make your car look like the mutts nuts :lol:
