Looking for some gti6 brakes for my xs, wondering what you can use to clean the calipers off? Wire brush? But mainly what people think is the best pad and disc setup? Hoping to get some different views. Thanks Sam ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

Ds2500 pads with standard discs front and back. The xs has 266mm discs and the 6 has 283mm. If you have Lucas calipers you can get the larger gti6 mounting bracket to make them suitable for the larger disc. ________________________________________ |

Was just going to get gti6 calipers and new discs and pads, want something that won't fade, fast road/track use. Gti6 calipers will bolt straight on surely? ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

Ferodo ds2500 pads are very good at taking serious heat. They don't bite very hard when cold but the more heat you put in them the better they get. They have very good modulation. I've found that standard discs are up to the job if you look after them; get them up to temp gently and cool them down before parking up. I just thought that if you already have the Lucas caliper then you could save a few quid and only buy the mounting brackets. If you have Bosch or girling calipers then yes you will need both calipers and brackets (yoke's) from a gti6 to make a 283mm disc fit. Also if you buy Ds2500 pads you should order them for an Alfa Romeo as they sweep the entire disc without leaving a lip. I'm not sure which model Alfa; I'm sure someone on here will know? ________________________________________ |

Alfa pads will fit the caliper, not the discs mate.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

No problem.  You could just go on eBay and find a complete setup straight off a donor car and then fit the lot, rather than worrying about which bits you need to buy to make it all work. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Its probably the best way to go so you know you have everything needed to fit when you come to do it. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
