   I've just bought a Saxo VTS phase 2, as a run around for the time being.
   
   Its in need of some new brake pads, whats the best pads to get?
   
   Or am i best upgrading the calipers? I read in another post that 206 gti and gti 6 calipers fit, but would these fit under the standard 15" alloys?
   
   Any advice would be great.
   
   Thanks

   If its gonna be used for fast road/track, best bet is to upgrade to GTi6, and yep, they'll fit under 15s.

   Yes, they're 283mm, and they're pretty much a straight fit, they just need a bit of grinding I think.
