Spider owner in Victoria

[VicSpider]

Hello all, I just bought a 79 spider, what fun! Has anybody upgraded brakes for the Fiat 500? Just exploring the car and have already installed a sway up front.

Welcome aboard! Given the limitations (speed) of the cars in "stock" form the brakes actually work quite well. If you hop up the motor then a brake upgrade might make more sense.

There will be many more fun and exciting ways to spend money on the car. The stock brake system components are pretty cheap, easy to work on and as I said are adequate for most driving conditions on a stock car.

Best of luck! Love to see pics of your car!
