Hi everyone, I'm still can't find any fast road pads (front) for my 54 reg 1.2 8v Active Sport with ABS. Can anyone help me? I've got in contact with a company who said they could get me some, then they found out the pads didn't fit my model! (That didn't stop them taking the money for them out of my account!)
 
You may be able to get pads from Tarox.

The only possible problem with putting just pads on is that manufacturers now tend to fit hard pads and soft discs, compared with 'olden days' where the discs lasted forever and you changed your pads more often.
I'm not sure if this would cause any major concerns but it would probably accelerate the wear of your standard discs.

Thanks for the tips mate. I'll have a look on the Tarox website.
 
I've just got off the phone from the company that I was going to buy the pads off of. And I've been told that there are no pads currently available for my car. Red Dot might do some but they need to know the shape of the pads that are currently on the car. How would I be able to get hold of a shape diagram of my pads? Would Fiat UK know what model of pads are on my car? Or is that just a long shot?
