Re: 91 V8Q

I don't think they are inboard brakes, internal calipers are very 
different from inboards brakes. Inboard brakes if I am not mistaken means 
the brake assembly is not at the hub but move towards the end close to the 
differential, Alfa Romeo has a few cars with the inboard brakes setup. 
Inboard brakes still have the calipers riding on the outer edge of the 
disks/rotors but not true for the internal calipers.
