Brembo Brake Upgrade - Why can no one order this kit?

Does anyone here know a decent place to deal with for Brembo products? If you click the link below and choose Fiat and 500, I'm after kit 1A2.3004A

http://www.brembo.com/CatalogoHPGT/T...=NoModifyGuest

I've emailed almost everywhere in the UK that I can find and of the ones who've bothered to respond, one told me there was no kit for the Fiat 500 and one asked me if I could send him a link to where I saw it. An underwhelming response.

Anyone else had this problem?

cheers
J

Not sure where to get one buy is there any particular reason you need such powerful brakes on what is a small and not too highly powered car?

Re: Brembo Brake Upgrade - Why can no one order this kit?

I like to stop and I want to do some track days. The standard brakes don't appear to be up to the task. After a few good stops they feel like they're made of butter. Aside from that I like stopping

For the price of the Brembo kit you could probably buy yourself an old Impreza or something to do track days in and it'd be much faster. Of course if you want to do track days in a 500 I'm not going to stop you. Just a little perplexed that someone would want to take something so underpowered (in terms of a car on the track) to a track day.

True, but the idea of a 500 on the track appeals to me in a warped sort of way.

If getting passed by just about anything is your sort of thing Would make sense in an Abarth I guess

These guy's www.potn.co.uk sell the Stilo Abarth upgrade and so deal with Brembo. Maybe worth seeing if they can get it for as their is a number for them to order

I've personally used this company before, excellent communication from them, they don't list 500 stuff, but you could ask them about the kit http://www.europerformance.co.uk/
