just confirmed I have the 305mm brakes still on my GTA, as I checked the pictures of the calipers on the first post.

Read all through this topic about different opinions on 305 vs 330. Only had my GTA a few weeks, and I know what some of you mean now by can be dangerous. Had a scare with them on the weekend, the car just wouldn't stop as I thought, so going to try and get the upgrade asap.

I can't believe a car was sold, espcially a top of the range Alfa with brakes that do not work. When the GTA was released did none of the press pick up on it? - or were all press cars fitted with 330?

Does anyone still have copies of any old letters/emails sent to Alfa/dealers about the upgrade so I could include some more info
