Hi guys, fairly new around here, been browsing for a while and decided to ask your opinion on something I've been thinking of doing for a while now but things got in the way.
I have a 2008 Grande Punto 3 door with a 1.3 MultiJet and 90bhp with the 5 speed gearbox, no mods whatsoever.
I want to convert the current drum brakes on the rear to discs. I'm doing it for aesthetic reasons and not looking for any performance gains.
Got 17'' wheels a while ago and it bugs me how ugly the rear drum looks when wearing these:
I've never seen a GP with brake discs on the rear up on a lift to check on the possible difficulty level of the entire job so my questions would be:
1. Is it a simple bolt on job as the real axle is the same on both versions or I will need to change the axle too?
2. Is the EBD software different in operating the drums vs. operating discs? If it does then I will need to modify the software too I guess.
Thanks!
