What Brake Pads are fitted as Standard?

[Anonymous]

Anyone know what brake pads are fitted as standard to Fiat Bravo's by Fiat?

Bought some from a Motorfactors, called DanBlock and new front discs. i've done over 140miles and under braking the car doesn't seem to be very resposive, it gradually slows done.

Is this due to the pads not being fully bedded in yet?

Fiat supply Fiat pads.

Have you tried pressing the pedal harder?

They must be branded pads, can't be just fiat pads.

Are Ferrod Pads any good?

I have pressed the pedal harder, don't get me wrong the car brakes but before the change, normally i just have to touch the pedal and the car rapidly slows down. Now i press it hard and it eventually stops.

They are branded FIAT.

Ferodo are good.

I'd check that the callipers are moving freely. Are the discs badly scored or do they have a noticable lip around the edge?

The discs are brand new, so there isn't a lip on them, however i'll check tomorrow for any scoring on them.

Check the callipers.

Is the pedal overly spongy?
