Brake upgrade is finally underway. As this is typed the new brakes are being fitted. A picture I took before I had to leave them to it.

I can't wait to pick the GTA up this evening. Would be nice to approach a trafficlight without the wobbly effect.

Price is not yet decided. No reply from Italy nor the importer.

However, when i heard about the brake upgrade I decided to try for it anyway and contacted my dealer (Maasland in voorburg). After checking with the importer (still Fiat at the time), I received the upgrade for 300 Euro's, not bad, seeing I didn't really have any problems myself...
Since then I've also ugraded the brakelines (braided steel/teflon ones), moved to DOT 5.1 brakefluid and Pagid blue 4.2 pads.
