   the standered pads on the rear are only about 4mm thick anyway
   
   if the front is standered then stick with standered on the rear aswell
   brembo disks are very good, so are mintex as are the pads
   that is what i use on my xsara vtr and dont have any problems
   
   
   the handbrake on all pugs is woe ful, make sure its adjusted correctly as this will help things
   maybe a brake fluid change will help you as it should be done every few years and it does make adifferance, use a good quality dot 4 or 5 and you wont go far wrong
