   Had to buy a carrier (306 GTI6) the other day, and it was £90 from Pug. So the caliper will be more than that!

   How long is a piece of string? It depends on the condition mostly. I would have thought for a set of 306 GTI 6 calipers on their own (in very good condition) would be worth between £150 - £175.

   My discs were £180 and pads were £60. It's up to you if you want to run budget parts with them or not.

   The discs are Tarox G88 (283mm) and the pads are Tarox "strada" fast road. I got them and also some Goodrodge braided hoses all from www.motorsportworld.co.uk

    for my 306 gti-6 setup i payed:
    
    £80 for the calipers and carriers
    £30 for brand new oe discs
    £15 for brand new oe pads
    £4 for some 4 dot brake fluid
    £0 for fitting
    
    total: £129
    
    still havent had time to fit them
    
    best bet is to look around as the calipers were priced at 80-150 when i searched for them

    Condition is important. What seems like a good buy could be completely useless... As the cost of getting them tip top would be 2 to 3 times more than you paid for them initially.

    You will have to have them in your hands to check...
    
    If you get the chance, there's 2 main things. The carrier will have 2 bolt shaped pistons, each with a rubber boot around them. These must slide up and down freely, otherwise when the brake pedal is pressed, one side of the disc will not be properly in contact with the pad, and also, the pad might not come away from disc on one side.
    
    The other main thing is the piston. You need to check that it is in good working order. It shouldn't stick at all, but it's not as easy to check. Probably the best thing you can do is look around it, and check for rust etc...
    
    It's also worth checking the condition of the edges where the pads sit in the carrier. The edges need to be clean, and smooth, otherwise the pad will not move freely like it should do.
    
    Hope this help bud.

    If they are tip top, they are worth more IMO. They would cost MUCH more brand new from Pug!

    i think my Original brakes are okay, best ive ever felt in a Saxo for standard brakes..I just know theyre not really up too scratch, especially slowing down quickly from great speed a few times, get brake fade quite quickly.
    
    ++ ordered some nice new wheels and want a nice setup behind

    There's a guy who's going to buy mine for £350. But that's with virtually new discs and new pads, and also Goodridge hoses. It's a fair price I think. Discs, pads, and hoses alone cost me £300.

    I'd say they are worth 140-160... Don't think i'd pay more than £160 for them.
