gti180 brakes

[Saxo-Slag]

Right i am buying pauls off him. What i want to know is which are the best discs and pads for front and rear. I would like drilled and grooved. Links please

[TypeRhys]

firstly go for some mintex 1144 pads, these are immense.

as for disks i would just buy some OE disks, a setup as big as the 180 will be very strong on the saxo.

if you do want some decent disks try Brembo Max, i used these and loved them, great stopping power, i bought mine from GSF car parts.

with the standard vts 247 setup.

i wasnt willing to go 266 at the time so invested in some decent disks and pads, they were well worth the money.

As rhys says, mintex and brembo are the way to go. On my 283's they are awesome, dont get hardly any fade and the discs are solid. Braided lines also made a hell of a difference, as did the DOT 5.1 fluid

that what i used.

standard vts callipers, with Brembo Max Disks and Mintex 1144 pads.

it was very good, but despite the decent friction elements you just dont have the piston power of bigger setups, hence why i eventually upgraded to 266mm

[Paul_Collins]

Hes getting braided hoses too :y:

[Johnson]

thanks mate very helpful, im on the gsf parts site now and im unsure wat system,

friction or hydraulic sytem ?


i assume its hydraulic

[TypeRhys]

friction

[Johnson]

a good job i asked then lol

thank you

[TypeRhys]

try motorsportworld for the mintex pads.

[Saxo-Slag]

I could do with links to the parts i need

[Saxo-Slag]

Which size mc will be best on my vtr

[eggtrade]

So to upgrade just discs and pads you're talking about £230, and to upgrade to a 266mm setup your talking about £300? Is this right? (got pricing from demontweeks) If so whats the point of just getting discs and pads??

[Predator_R32]

plain discs and mintex pads, great combo :y:

what about standard vtr calipers etc, can u get the same discs for these? as im looking for some new discs and pads for mine but wanting some good breaking power as standards jst seem to fade all the time

[jonezy]

searched this and nothing comes up an apologies for hyjacking,

do 206 gti 180 brakes fit straight to saxos or is grinding needed?

[Yates]

Which size mc will be best on my vtr

if its for a vtr, then its a 406 23mm mc you want, remember it has to be a non abs 406, ask wilsy for the part number im sure he will have it somewhere

ive heard that the gti 180 brakes just fit on mate, same size as gti 6 but heard they dont need grinding unlike the gti6 ones, not 100% about that but heard from a few people that its straight fit

[David]

For gti 180 brakes you need 15" wheels or larger too mate.
