Im just looking for recommendations on ideal fast road use brake pads on my '6. They are for every day use and need to cope with downhill braking without cooking so quickly. Any suggestions would be great.

Yeah the part number is FCP565H.They are listed for the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo as well  No lip with these on discs if you use them. Need to replace discs also if your using them for the first time obviously. Discs look bigger when using these pads because you dont get the lip ________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

Yeah thats the ones, they are listed for a gti6 on that site as well.I tried my hardest to get them cheaper, sweet talked as much as possible to demon tweeks after some people from here said they got them for around 100 quid delivered from there in the past. I ended up paying about that same as that price  Still on the upside a major imrovement in braking performance coupled with my stainless steel braided hoses and ate super blue! ________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

and how long have they lasted compared to standard? i take it you are running standard discs? i was going to get bremobo calipers, but i dont know if they are worth it if i get DS2500 on standard calipers. I would get the braided hoses and ate super blue done too ________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |
