VTR/VTS front brakes are fine, just fit braided flexi's all round, fresh hi temp brake fluid and some track friendly pads.

As above really, the standard setup for the VTR/S is not the best for track, but some uprated pads and you should be good.

DS2500's preferably, although they are a pretty penny. Nothing on CL pads though.

If its a pure track car, then CL Brakes RC6 are some of the best you can buy (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-brakes/saxo-brake-pads/citroen-saxo-vtr-vts-front-brake-pads-cl-brakes-rc6.html). Not cheap but good parts are not. These are popular with the stock hatch racers and they drive harder than you ever will :D

If you intend to drive to the track, I prefer an all-rounder such as the Ferodo DS2500 (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-brakes/saxo-brake-pads/citroen-saxo-ferodo-ds2500-brake-pads-vtr-vts.html) as this will wear discs less at colder temperatures.

Have you still got the drum rear axle? Might be swapping that out for VTS/R one.

when you define the parameters the brakes are used under its easier to work out what is best for an individual so call it a clarification lol

And they're the new revision? Excellent. The missus was asking what to buy me for Christmas, they'll do nicely.

They are the Baker BM adjustable top mounts. £220 + vat, (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-suspension/bushes-mounts/citroen-saxo-baker-bm-adjustable-top-mount-set.html) but from us you can earn some reward points as well :D
