parts for gti6 upgrade!

[jsdvtr]

What parts do i need for a gti6 brake convo apart from discs and calipers? Do i need the carriers, etc? Might get the master cylinder too!

[swampy]

Carriers yes
mc possibly all down to personal choice regarding the amount of peddle travel

may also be a good time to upgrade to braided hoses, which i can supply cheaply

[jsdvtr]

Well got the calipers, discs and m/c for £40 lol. Need new hoses as they just cut them off. How much are braided hoses? Think the carrier will be attached as didnt look like was left on strut anyway.

[LeeM]

im doin this asap, going to halfords over the weekend to price up some disks and pads on trade, their own branded stuff is actually ferodo so it'll do me!
you just need the disks pads and complete calipers, and i believe the calipers need some sort of grinding but ive yet to find out how much/where

[jsdvtr]

Do the normal saxo hoses fit gti6 calipers or do i need to get gti6 ones?

[swampy]

Pair of front hoses is £25 deliverd.

[LeeM]

i think the saxo ones fit but may be a little short.
swampy what colours can you get?

[swampy]

Fittings are the same
some other suppliers say standerd is fine
but in my experiance they get pulled tight on extrems of suspension and steering travel
this can lead to a hose failure and loss of brakes
if pickd up on an mot it can be a failure
colors
red
blue
black
yellow
green
orange
purple
clear
carbön fibre

[LeeM]

i'll have a set of green ones when i get hold of some calipers

[swampy]

Not a problem.

[jsdvtr]

Got any pics of the carbon ones.

[swampy]

Ill dig some out in an hour or so when im on the laptop rather than the phone.

Do you deffinately need longer hoses? Is it worth getting rebuilt and cleaned up, etc before fitting. I was going to clean up and paint anyway.

[saxo_kid18]

its all personal choice on weither or not to overhaul the callipers personaly i would but its up to you

[jsdvtr]

Can it be done yourself and how much cost for parts,etc.

[swampy]

Its up to you.
Some suppliers say they arnt needed but id not install these calipers with out longer hoses due to the above reasons

[WestyVTR]

goodridge are good and come with life time warrenty.... swampy, my bad!

[swampy]

The company that make mine used to supply goodridge!
They now supply several other companies.
And people who have fitted both makes say exact lines are better in both quality and fitment

[lokksta]

Dude, did you get my PM's or what? I just need to know roughly when I'm gonna get the hoses, coz I can't use my car until then. If it's gonna be ages, I'll just pick some up from Pug Racing, as they're just down the road from me and have em...

[jsdvtr]

[smiith]

The wires are just wear sensors that the 306 has, think you would be better off with mintex pads unless your on track, them pads wont be all that good cold.

[jsdvtr]

Well my car will be going to be a track car in the future. Just not yet.

[jsdvtr]

I need new brake pads and discs for the rear too and was either looking at getting these

[jsdvtr]

Do i just buy saxo braided hoses for calipers or gti6 ones? Where best to getthem?

[swampy]

Get them from me!
Do u want just fronts or rears aswell?

[CooperVTR]

[jsdvtr]

Fronts. Price?

[swampy]

You both have pm

[jsdvtr]

Do you really need to get new hoses. Was wanting to fit brakes today.
