I suggest not driving your car so hard if you can fade your pads and discs


lol.....vibs.....i drive a derv....unless u'd forgotten! :lol:

no seriously, the brakes are simply too small for the size of the car, especially with the heavy derv lump. I do alot of motorway driving and rely on the brakes to bring me down from <90mph quickly.

I suggest driving at 70mph adn fitting GTi-6 brakes

I have standard pads and discs (which are made by ATE + Lucas). Both bought from peugeot, with the pads last changed 3000 miles ago. They are very poor, and this is renoun on the 306 TD. The pads fade very easily :(

Got myself a very nice deal on a set of Minxtex pads, ATE Power discs, Goodridge stainless hoses and dot5 brake fluid. That should sort me i'm hoping!

Anyone had any experience with these? Weirdly grooved.....

They come in at only £47 for my 306......so seem good value really? The OE part would be around £30 from the same shop!

Being manufactured by ATE too, same as my calipers, i cant see them being too shabby?

any opinions, cheers
