    This seller has very good stuff, reasonably priced with free shipping.

    No Bravo at the moment, but ask him. Maybe he has something for you. ;)

    Fiats tend to have crap brakes fitted as standard..... Try source a set of brembo discs and EBC pads :) and they were available for my Bravo back in the day ;) albeit a mk 1

    Hi Lads

    Thanks for the replies.
    All the Fiats that I had always seemed to have good brakes.
    I have been told at the recent service that the pads are @70% so I will be changing them shortly and if better were available at roughly the same cost then why not.
    There is scorring on the front discs and that is why they are just changing the front ones.
    Car has 45,000km done.
