right now i have a set of gti 6 brakes and a 23mm MC but was wondering what should i do with the back brakes? what is the best with them?

just pads and discs or is there a better caliper etc i can use?

thanks

Tbh mate uprated disc and pads will be more than up to the job.

You dont need to upgrade the rear mate, keep them pretty weak tbh. If you uprate the rear then youll end up making them lock up more easily which can be unsafe, they can lock up before the front and also reduce your braking power.

GTI6 brakes aint that good to even warrent upgrading the rear anyway.

X2, not as important as the fronts on a light car like the saxo.

The standard discs and pads will be fine. There the same rears as on a Clio which is heavier so they will be more then enough on a saxo

If you already have Gti6 front setup, theres no point changing the rears at all.

I've got Mintex 1144's & Grp N discs, but only as they were cheap.

as above but if you want more rear brake, adjust the comp valve
on axle

Leave the rear well alone.

It's too much hassle for not much gain trying to 'upgrade', although I assume it could be done
