   Not to sure how hard it is, as ive never had to do it, but if you upgrade to a premium member theres a how to guide in the modifications section.

   its pretty straight forward to fit new discs and pads to any car, only problem is your furio will have break drums on the rear, so in order to fit discs there your obviously gonna have to get a brake conversion from drum to disc, which will cost a bit, but its not really worth doing with a 1.4 tbh unless your gonna run silly power! and to answer your question mate yes bigger brakes will fit!

   I tried to fit new discs and pads and all was going great till i tried to get the disc off. They on really tight and i was just rounding the torx screw when trying get them off.

   just drill the head off the torx screw. The wheel bolts will hold the disc on pretty well anyway
