Re: modified breaks

FIAT Croma perhaps? but it is not going to be terribly easy and I think you should stick to FIAT Uno Turbo brakes (which I think are just about as big as the Croma anyway).

Bear in mind that if you have enough engineering ability, you could make any car's brakes fit, though you will need larger wheels to fit larger brakes within them.

Re: modified breaks

Or just putting on a set of drilled and grooved discs and good pads would dramatically improve braking.

Uno Challenge racecars, these are non-turbo Unos btw, use Tarox 40 groove discs so they should offer enough stopping power.
