Identifying, choosing and buying discs and pads for the MiTo should be relatively straightforward, but as with many things on the MiTo, have made the process just slightly more difficult than it should be, resulting in the whole endeavour being a bit of a pain. So I have tried to simplify what should be simple, but even through the course of simplification there remain a few confusing differences you need to be aware of before hitting the ‘add to basket’ button on your favoured Alfa Romeo parts site. Let’s start with brake discs, which mercifically are relatively straightforward. Sort of.

Pad Sizes Disc/Pad Combinations People can get very concerned In some instances (specifically about the exact measurements of the 257mm and 281mm front brake pads, and this only really disc sizes) Alfa Romeo combined becomes important when you are a set of front discs and pads into trying to match after-market pads a ‘brake kit’ with an associated to the specification you want for part number. These brake kit your MiTo. My advice is to stick part numbers are included in the to pads that specifically list the guide as they typically represent original equipment (OE) part reasonable value for money. numbers in this guide as being The constituent disc and pad compatible. For road I tend part numbers are usually visible.
