  1. #1
    i currently have standard vtr brakes both front and rear, i have vts alloys which allow for larger brakes from what i have read on here.
    anyone have makes/sizes and prices for either good pads or both discs and pads
    thanks

    berlingo brakes are good 206 gti, 206 gti 180, 306 gti-6 406 brembo's with xantia discks, AP racing 4 pot kit, uprated disks and pads with braided lines, and a better quality brake fluid will make a big difference to name but a few of your opptions.....

    Ive got a set off a xsara (266mm) witch cost me £30 for the calipers, an i got bigger a mc (mastercylinder) for a £5

    I am yet to buy some disc an pads so i can't help you with a price on them...

    berlingo calipers do limit you a bit with the pad choice... any 266mm setup is a good upgrade on the standard setup

    Also consider upgrading the pads and discs on the 247mm setup

    Bigger isn't always better.. personally I like to keep my brakes as small as I can to keep the unsprung weight down

    Yeah some new standard discs or maxtorq discs with mintex 1144's all round will be a MARKED improvement. Love mine like that
