According to Rog@pf an alfa GTV servo is larger and more efficient but its the fact there isnt space for a larger servo on the coupe.
The small servo gives it the squishy pedal feel, itsa shame because the OEM brakes are actually quite good, they just feel naff.

may be something to do with mixing fluids. Brake servo is more than up to the job, if your pedal is squishy it isn't due to the servo unless yours has a particular problem

Instead of uprating, could you just not replace with a new one? It might just be the old one is knackered, not needs uprating.
Hopefully you ment 5.1 fluid too, not dot 5?!
I'm in the same boat really, uprated pads, disks, hoses etc but still feels as though it's lacking something. I'm going to replace my servo with a new one and see if that improves matters.
Cheers,

Isn't there a way of pumping the pedal after you've turned off the engine to see if it's knackered or not. Something like 5 pumps before it goes stiff is good(oo er!!), less than that you have a leak?!
I might be wrong, but I thought it was something along those lines. Hopefully someone will clarify.

All i know is i had an evo with the brembos on and it could stop a train dead...The coupe runs similar rotas and there crap. Imo my stock bravo brakes were better. The rears dont do enough,and theres too much weight over the front wheels.Cast iron block doesnt help.

I think mine drops to -0.82bar(or there abouts) when I let off, idle should be about -0.6bar.
