Worth looking for any rust remaining on disc surface(s) to see if it gives a clue to the problem.

guys where it's possible to buy the kit for
refurbishing the calipers (orings...) ?
i have disassembled a pair of front brakes the pistons
was clean but rough at the touch, i have polished both
after disassembling (with 18bar!) from the calipers
what a huge difference!!

I used www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/ for mine, they hold all Fiat Coupe bits and are extremely helpful. The other firm that sell brake components is www.brakeparts.co.uk/ who also do all Coupe stuff. Refurbing mine has made a huge difference and they didn't take long to do either, will probably cost you about 50 euros a side to do if you buy pistons and seals. Worth buying some red rubber grease from Ebay as well for lubricating seals on reassembly. Hope this helps.
