front discs

[krisdiamond91]

when i break it feels like the front of the car is grabbing instead of being a clean brake. i was thinking mabey its warped discs as it does it under heavy braking as seems like a rotation thing ( grabs every few seconds like with the rotation of the wheel). anyway i was wondering is it easy to change the discs on the front of a saxo? i have done it to a few fords, is it the same?

yeah its pretty easy you just need a set of allen keys, spanners/sockets and a torx bit to undo the disc retaining bolts, and a screwdriver or something to pull off the little clip thats on the caliper to hold it togeather. It's pretty self explanitary if you get the wheel off and have a look. Might even be a guide on here somewhere..

I take you have solid discs, might be an idea to upgrade to something bigger.

[krisdiamond91]

yeah solids on mine mate. can i upgrade to vented without any mods?

Just go to a scrappy and grab some calipers and carriers from a 306 turbo diesel or xsara vtr, get new discs and pads to suit though.

not being picky but thers no need to upgrade the brakes new discs and pads should be more than enough
