   Right soon i will be fitting VTS calipers to my mk2 1.1, plus the rear will be upgraded to a VT rear beam with discs, so:
   
   Whats discs and pads for front? Names, sizes etc...
   
   What discs and pads for back? Names, sizes etc...
   
   And am i right in thinking i will not need anything else to get the VTS calipers to go on my car? (4stud obviously)

   any pads and discs out of a motor factors are fine tbh, dont bother buying mega expensive Brembo or AP discs; if youre going to do that then stick the money aside and save for even bigger brakes LOL
   
   Im using Delphi Lockheeds, the cheapest ones I could get and while the feel isnt outstanding, theyve been fine in terms of stopping.

   Heard some mixed reviews about Green Stuff but others like Mintex and Tarox are all good.
   
   Dont forget to give the callipers a dam good clean and paint em while their off to add to the look of the items.
   
   Also worth investing in Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines to give a slightly more postive feel under really heavy braking check out www.rallydesign.co.uk thats where I got mine

   Front discs and pads would these be right for the front? and would i need to cut ABS sensor?
   
   rear discs and pads would these be right for the rears?
   
   If any problems can someone please link me to the person they used to by from

    Yes and yes, theyll be fine. The wires are pad wear indicators, which unless you have a special saxo, dont get used.
