Front discs recommendations

[Chicken]

Just wondering what front discs you guys are running on your 133's and whether you'd recommend them. Mine are starting too get low and will need replacing at some point , I've had a look around and may get Brembos but thought I'd ask if any of you have/have had anything different and your opinions on them.

Yep that's where I'm looking at getting them as they have there workshop now so would get a price for parts and fitting. Just want too see if anyone else was running them first.

I know Jjay is running the brembo HC discs and ferodo ds2500 pads on the front of his GT. He has nothing but good things to say about them, if that helos any?

Mine I jusy have the standard grade brembo front discs and pads, the HC ones are not apparently available for the non-sport mk3 :-(

 

[Jjay]

Yeah brembo HC discs with ds2500 pads. Outstanding performance on them but can squeel under light braking

I think standards are good probably not what you want to hear but can't fault them really.

 

[Martin_172]

theres nothing wrong with standard they are perfectly up to the job, 280mm discs with 130bhp, remember clio Williams was running 150bhp on 260mm front discs, and id imagine similar weight and they are fine!

but there is better braking performance to be had out there with a good pad and disc combo as above

 

[JoeRS133]

Best brake setup i ever had was standard discs with CL pads and braided lines on my old saxo vts.

Them CL's are pricey but bloody good!

 

[Jjay]

Don't CL pads destroy normal discs

 

[JoeRS133]

Shouldnt do but then saxo discs cost bugger all anyway.
