Re: ***Definitive 147/156 GTA brake upgrade thread***

yes all answers are in the thread...

it should cost you nothing.
It consists of new larger calipers & pads and 330mm discs (instead of 305mm)
If fits 17" GTA teledial wheels fine.
If you have the optional 17" GTA Multispoke wheels, a replacement set of revised 17" multispoke wheels were also included.

BUT, it is now almost 2-years since the upgrade was made available and over 2-years from when they started fitting the larger brakes at the factory. As you can see from previous posts it is proving difficult to get it done now and it seams to vary from one dealer to another (although it obviously shouldn't).
