These were sitting in the garage for about 15 years now, cobwebs formed on them over the years. Just threw them out this morning. Photos should give a good sense of scale.

We know where the drums were made, the disks were made there as well.

These are tiny.

The car these came off of was from a common European brand, but the car was not built in the usual Mexico or Europe, and sold in the USA and Canada for a few years.

look at some BMW E90 330xi brakes for comparison.

I've driven dozens of them. The wagons are fairly neato, but they're all pretty shitty.

Yup, Brazilian cars in a nutshell.

My dad had his for a long time, it was his first car here in Canada, I assume he bought it because he was familiar with them already, as he owned a VW Saveiro previously in Brazil (same car, but with a bed). He retired it from road use when he bought a Mazda MX-6, and left the poor Fox to rot in the back yard. I have sentimental value to old cars my parents owned.
