I was thinking this would be a great upgrade to my 2.0ts autodelta turbo spider as the original ts break aren't up to the job and these look way bigger than the 166 brembo calipers

they are bigger then 166 brakes. those are 4 piston calipers these brembo z17 calipers are 6 piston calipers. 
but you also can make de 166 calipers work on 330 discs. then you have the same size disc only a way cheaper caliper. 

my old brakes were 166 calipers on 305 discs. they are also great for a 916.

Great upgrade. And the adaptors look nicely machined too. Did you have any issues fitting the z17 to the teledials?

Congratulation for the brake upgrade :thumbsup:

Which pads did you use, for 17Z or 18Z? Pads are interchangeable between them, 18Z being a little higher.

305 and 330 brembos use different pads. On 330 are bigger and similar as on 166's brembo. These on above picture look like GTA 330/166 pads

Nice group and trip :thumbsup:!
Did you drove at Nurburgring?

 

I forgot to reply about pads above. These pads on the picture are "17Z" ones, so "right" pads for these calipers. I'm also with 17Z pads on mine 17Z calipers, but on my setup there is much free/unused area of inside of disc as calipers are a little bit outside of disc and 17Z pads are short. With disc a little bit bigger than 330mm will be better match on my car, but don't see such off the shelf with 330x32mm and close to current offset. So when I change the pads next time I will use 18Z pads, because they are higher.

that was a small part of the dutch 916 club. 
the approache of the ride was a lap on the ring for those how wanted to. the only way that i want te drive the ring is when i'm the last to pass the entrance. 
so i don't have fast cars from behind. i love the roads in the eifel, ardennes and luxemburg.  those roads are almost all as smooth as a pool table bed and with many curves and beautiful nature it is amazing to drive. also by that my spider thick rolebars it drives like a dream.
