Hi all, I'm new here...
I have a Seicento Sporting..
The car hasnt' any mod and I want to start with the front brakes..
I've heard many pleople and everyone says a different thing..

someone says to put the punto Gt brakes
others the Panda 1.3 MJet...
my mechanical sais to but performance brakes for my car (tarox)

what should I do?

now I have the 13" wheels
but I would like to put the 14" or even 15"

thank you

Okay brakes, if it's not modded I'd just go for fast road discs and pads. If you upgrade there is a lot covered in the forum and lots of different opinions... there are 3 routes to upgrade the brakes (2 of which are basically the same)
1) fit existing fiat calipers from cars like the Punto GT, all barring Uno Turbo callipers require you to step up to 14 or 15" wheels
2) use a pre-made upgrade kit like the Tarox kit, I believe there's also an AP racing kit that fits, again I think you're tied to 14" or larger wheels
3) make up or get a kit made up to mount racing callipers on the car, the worlds your oyster here.

For option one the Punto GT is generally considered the best way forwards, there are a whole host of cars that use this calliper & disc combo. This is why you might get people recommending brakes from other cars, they're just telling you another source.

If you opt for the Punto GT brakes, then you have to change the size of the wheels. I think the same rings true for the Panda MJet brakes too but I've never heard of anyone using them before.

I suppose it all depends on what you're doing power-wise. If you're sticking with the 1108 and tuning it then probably just performance brakes designed for Sei will do fine.

Edit: Beaten to the punch slightly, but answered my question about the Panda brakes

The new Panda may use a Bosch system, certainly my 1st Sei' used Bosch callipers which was integrated with the ABS system used on that car, I'd expect the callipers to fit though.

Im going for option 3, with bells and rotors

well, I want to put the 1242 v8 of the punto 75.. but here il Italy it's illegal, many people told me that it is aesthetically the same as the 1108 but i'm not sure.. (does someone have any pictures of a 600 with the 1242 engine on?)

MPI use 75, SPI use 60.

Only difference is the engine is 10 mm taller, very very hard to tell.

Hmm but in Sei, think is something different about the exhaust ?? not sure
