Has anyone done, or know of a brake upgrade of a non gta 147 to gta calipers and discs?
I hopped into a gta the other day which had standard brakes and couldn't believe the pedal feel.
I just feel that bakes aren't ideal with standard pads, and better pads it loses bite ...
I believe just about everything is the same except for the disc and perhaps the hose.
Is there an ABS remap or anything technical like that? I assume it will fit with my multispoke 17's ... there seems to be heaps of room.
I find the standard brakes on my 147ti more than satisfactory I have standard discs and pads unsure the brand but feel spot on in the wet or dry perhaps check to see your existing system is working correctly? I just changed pads on my alfetta gtv to bendix compared to a unknown prior brand and the response and feel is chalk and cheese hope that helps
The brakes on my 147 Twin Spark work just fine under all conditions Unless you are traveling at speed all the time or racing I am not sure you need an upgrade. The 147 GTA has different brakes because it needs them. I tend to agree with Alfapride that maybe a change of compound is all that's required. :-\
Why don't you take your brake pads out and deglaze them and bleed the brakes as well and while you are at it, see if your rotors are flat with no ridges, which can add to brake pedal travel, i beleive that the GTA struts are different to the standard 147-156 series, Colin,
GTA brakes are not plug and play (different hubs, uprights, half shafts, etc)
It can be done with other calipers though (166)
Start here for the answer to your actual question (post #157)
