Hello. Please help.
I have a VTS and i'm after some new front brake disks and pads, as mine are almost dead! I was wondering which ones to get that are any good as i have no idea. What have you used or do you use which are any good? At the moment i've only got standard brakes but would like to upgrade to better ones. But i dont want to have to spend a hugh amount of money though. Any advice please?
Thank usmileys/smiley2.gif

the gmc big disc conversion uses the standard saxo calipers though so it's pretty pricey for a pretty pointless upgrade. spend £150 or so and go for the 206 gti set up- discs pads and calipers plus some braided brake lines.
oh and you dont say which mark of vts you have, but 306gti/206 gti 180 brakes wont fit under 14" wheels (need at least 15's), 206 gti brakes will.
