Definitely. Value-for-money wise I don't think you can beat the Q2.

Agree, they're great and I really have appreciated all of Ned's advice. mind you, I made the bacon sarnies when I was there

I couldn't believe those were the 305 brakes I was testing, I thought they were 330's - stopping power on them was immense, better than a GTA on 330s and stock pads.

My brakes are dire in comparison, I really do have to upgrade them as I am sure I can do 0-60 faster than I can do 60-0 which isn't a good thing for safety's sake!

Will it be easy to take it out and put it in the GTA you eventually HAVE buy?

I do want a GTA eventually.. Might have to get myself another one to keep "in stock" as its likely Alfa are going to put the sale price of the diff up due to its popularity.
