I immediately noticed a differencw in braking performance between ta and 1.4. For me the brakes are the most important part of a car!
You are confusing how grabby brakes are, with how good the brakes are.
When I got my 500, the OEM pads were as grabby as anything, the slightest touch on the brake pedal and the car was slowing down quite a bit. It was horrid, put some Brembo pads in and it still stops just as fast, but has more feel than before when it was like an on/off switch. The brakes on the TA will be fine.
