   Hey,
   
   Got myself 266mm Calipers of a 1999 306 DTurbo.
   
   Anyone else know were I can get Disc and Pads? Would want better Pads if im honest, like Greenstuff or M1144's.
   
   Can't find anything to save my left, Kam only sell GTI-6 setups.
   
   Edit " Lucas Calipers
   
   Thanks.

   Pre 2001 266mm Bosch calipers - you need the 20.4mm thickness disks and the pads with the rounded ends.
   
   Post 2001 266mm Bosch calipers - you need the 22mm thickness disks and the pads with square ends.
   
   No idea about Lucas calipers... Can you confirm whether you have Lucas or Bosch calipers dude?

   Yeah I suppose, only really daily use, and odd track day so OEM should be up for the job?

   yeah no problem at all. I stuck some oem disks and pads on then took the car around Brands. Looked like fire was coming from the wheels but they worked fine and carried on for another 25,000 miles before I buggered the brake caliper drilling out a bleed nipple and had to replace the entire set. There was still a good 5mm of pad left too
