Not sure of the model mate but they are the same calipers as the 206 GTi 180 and the higher engines 307's. Citroen where the cheapest new so I went with them but the discs and pads are all the same and Im sure the calipers are the same as well. They are 283's pal, I can get the part numbers if anyone is interested.

Cheers mate they do seem good especially in comparison to the standars. I got the discs and pads about 3 months ago direct from EBC I think the pads where around £70

Cheers mate.
The big Question is should I strip 
Been thinking about this for a while as I wont need the car after next month so it will hardley ever get used. So I was thinking should I strip it out get some bucket seats and a decent roll cage and then it can be used more for track days than anything else. this is something that Im giving some real thought into.
Also Cams are getting fitted on Tuesday and then Ill give chipwizards another ring to get it booked in for a re-map.

Don't strip in my opinion. No need to ruin a minter of a white VTS....
And they're noisy as hell with no interior, hear every annoying rattle/squeek but extra loud! Cams & remap and leave well alone I think personally.
My old car, Brembo 4pots, cams, stripped = very twitchy rear. So much so when I outbraked a CTR, rear bounced out and ended up going round a corner on a 90 degree angle. Looked good, but boy did I shit meself! Safe to say the next day I had an interior again... Lol

The rear doesn't go too light if it's on a setup like mine or yours Stevo, 70-80mm maybe, but I have nothing behind my front seats and it handles like a dream- and I could tell the performance change with the weight loss.
Did I see you still had the spare tyre in? Get rid! If you can save 50kg on a car that weighs 935kg it's like gaining 8bhp assuming your hp is around 135bhp- well worth it IMO if you don't use the rear seats etc...

leave the interior alone imo, i have thought lots about ripping it out but it turns the car into niether one thing or another.
seats out, sure thing it wieghs abit less but tbh how much do saxo rear seats weigh? not alot. any you said replace with a cage which min is 19kg from an omp one. so defeats the object of that.
the only way to do it is properly go the whole hog with it but then you are in essence destroying a very nice car and to strip one properly and go lightweight cost money.
it will be a very quick car with the cams ect in see how you like it with them in first, if you still want it to be quicker change the 'box then strip it.
oh yeah thanks for letting me know about c/w
