   What pads do I need for this setup? Just a set that will fit the Peugeot 306 gti6? Any year?
   
   Cheers.
   
   Ps can anyone get a standard set on the cheap for me?

   if you're putting big brakes on, you want decent pads too.

   going of the link and the pic you posted id say they look the same. IT should just be a simple case of if you have 306 gti-6 calipers then they will take 306 gti-6 pads.

    Did you buy these?
    The pads in your pic have a metal kind of spring on the outer edge.
    
    The ones in the eBay link don't have this spring.
