    go for 206 GTi calipers with 262mm discs. and some good pads. should cost you about £150-£200 but the improvement is worth it.

    Either go for a 206 180 setup or a 306 setup.

    Or you can go for just uprated Pads like EBCs or Mintex etc, grooved discs and braided hoses for that extra bit of feel.

    if you want a mild improvment get some combi disks and decent pads! job done.


    if you want amazing stoppers. 4 pots

    if you want 1/2 decent brake upgrade. 206-gti or 206gti180 brakes will do.

    why do you want softer pads? just a road car?

    most uprated pads are a harder material not softer.

    even with standard pads they should still be good, you sure you have bled them properly?

    they are good yes, work well with my goodridge hoses too, but can be better with better pads & disks, yep they were fitted properly bleeding took 30mins, even though the rear caliper bleep nipple crumbled... LOL will stop better once i have better dampers and poly bushes.
