Just took a few lads out for a blast in the car and on my way home, my brake disc started to rub on the caliper again... muchos heat and smoke 
Im guessing one of the caliper brackets musthave slipped, which is causing it to rub when hot.
Whats peoples opinions of brakes... Currently have Pug 306 GTi-6 discs and std TS calipers.
If im going to replace this setup, I might aswell go for bigger calipers and maybe bigger discs?
