I agree standards are best unless you are uprating fronts as you would otherwise alter the brake bias, the ABS may compansate for this not sure of the exact system on Alfa Romeo 159.

Demon tweeks stock them, but rear dics and pads?? any local euro parts would be cheaper and they carry the same garuntee and have to be EU standard for quality anyway.

uprating the front braking is not a problem

Hi If rear is uprated only and its "wet" in a bend or driving on the limit, the back would try and brake away, But then ABS would try and compensate. From what I have read up on the Alfa ABS is a fairly good system.

But it is still advisable if uprating braking start at the front! then rears.
