Have lots of fun with them

BTW will you be abe to report back on the level of wear you suffer at the track with them (the most worn pad will be the left front wheel for clockwise circuits).
Maybe you can measure the before and after?

Cheers,
TB

My dealer will supply the upgrade against costprice and fitting is done for free. Any help from Alfa is a bonus. Quote was about 650 euro ex BTW (VAT) in total.

Sept. 1st my GTA gets bigger brakes and they will be run in and tested at Zolder on Sept 2nd.

You won't believe how much my GTA needs new brakes. The drive to the south of France made that very clear. Breaking at the 'peage' ports was special this year.
