Hi, I want to change drum brakes to disc brakes. I know there is some kits for other cars, but I don't know if exists a kit for Fiat GP.
Thanks in advace.

Why? If it's not broke don't fix it!
Fiat installs brake discs on Sport Version, so I think main problem is the money that you spent to get a car hahahaJust because you don't like them is one thing but trying to revamp a whole system to cede to you dislike is quite another, Fiat put a lot of research and time and money into the braking system for a reason. I'd leave well alone. The other plus is that you have a better handbrake with drum.
Relax relax, Fiat also Installs Disc brakes at Sport Version, so maybe replacing whole rear Stuff I Will get brake discs.A lot depends on how heavy the car is at the back. The X1/9 is mid-engined so there is more weight on the back axle and it justifies discs. As you brake, there is a "weight transfer" from the back to the front. The nose dips, the tail rises and it is essential to ensure that you DON'T get the rear wheels locking up or you'll spin. On something like a Punto, it has so little weight on the back to start with, that when you brake hard, the very LAST thing you want is a decent amount of braking on the back wheels! The MX5 is rear wheel drive, so there's a differential and drive shafts to add some weight to the back, plus being a 2-seater, the occupant mass is nearer the back axle than a 5 seater hatchback with driver only. Again, it can afford to have a bit more braking done by the back wheels.
