Right, so its that time again...
Got back from uni and have been working again. According to my schedule for the next few years I should be doing my brakes around about now.
The plan was originally to buy 306 cyclone alloys since they give a little more variation as to what brakes you can get. But, I'm gonna avoid this for two reasons...
1) Mainly money. Waaaay to expensive.
2) Also would like to keep the car looking as standard as possible as I want it to be a sleeper. Bigger alloys are starting to mess this up.
My question to you guys is...
Should I get 206 GTi calipers or Citroen Berlingo calipers? Which ones are better? I assume both will fit under 106 GTi standard 14" alloys...?
What disks should I get? Was looking into maybe Brembo MAX or Brembo Sport... Maybe Tarrox. Would kinda like drilled or grooved disks as they also look pretty cool... . What sort of size disks am i looking for here for both Berlingo and 206 GTi?
Pads? Again, don't really know what to look for. So any help appreciated.
My car is currently running around 125bhp with bmi induction and manifold. I plan to fit new suspension, an exhaust and cams and a remap by the end of summer and would like the brake upgrade to cope with the extra power... this is the whole point in doing it. Are berlingo or 206 GTi better? Are either good enough for 150bhp? ish
Looking to spend less than £200, less than £150 if possible.
Got a friend that works at Goodridge, so braided hoses will also be available. Will I need to upgrade the master cylinder?
Thanks peeps!
