VTR Brakes

[Barton1806]

I have to get new pads for my VTR.

What calipers are they and are all the Calipers the same.

What are the best pads i've had people telling me Mintex 1144 and EBC Yellow stuff are the pads to go for but which ones are best for fast road/ocassional track use.

Cheers

i have a furio and was wondering are everyones breaks as spungy as mine?

mintex 1144 are ok, not the best. The EBC ones seem to be popular but i dont rate them at all.

The best for performance seem to be Kams carbone lorraine ones.

The brakes are generally shit, you don't realise until you get better ones. Only way to improve the feel is to bleed/fit braided hose/change fluid

i dont trust my brakes at all on my vtr i dont think there is anything wrong with them they are just spongy so i can never out break people at all i feel really slow when racing cus i have to break so early when im in my mates clio even tho the car is 7 years old and pads have never been changed they are so sharp its unbelieveable i still have to get used to them everytime i drive the car i almost go through the window lol and they shouldnt any website there is just list the pads for a saxo vtr? aslong as you know its a model and year then you shouldnt have to know what make calipers you have and there is a thread in the faq's i think which shows the pad shape for every model of citroen
