As Ben said, GTi-6 calipers are the easiest and most popular upgrade mate.......as long as your wheels are 15" they're a straight fit.


RE: Estate brake upgrade - cully - 22-11-2012

easiest upgrade would be better pads Smile

Ive fitted greenstuff pads to the front and it made the car a lot more stoppable


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Willo - 22-11-2012

I'm just starting planning now as gonna need to do them in the new yearbooks like to change callipers I gotta get new wheels but might look at them green stuff pads though

until they leave horrible deposits on your disk that make them feel warped when you brake

Far better pads out there!!!
Gti6 calipers
Braided brake lines
BREMBO disks
DECENT pads
Good fluid


RE: Estate brake upgrade - cully - 22-11-2012

no ones got a good word to say about the greenstuff pads
ive not had any problems with them
they were a good upgrade for me without spending the earth!
£45 a front set .....howmuch are mintex 1144 upgrades?


RE: Estate brake upgrade - gareth7 - 22-11-2012

twice that I hate to say


RE: Estate brake upgrade - CJ_Derv - 22-11-2012

I know MPG would be drastically noticable haha

Im going down Brembo route me as already had them on blaze they do fit under 15" just with spacers


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Ricky - 22-11-2012

For an NA diesel the HDI 266mm kit with decent pads and discs would be more than enough to stop it.


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Willo - 22-11-2012

Will hdi brakes fit under 14 inch steelies and what parts would I need


RE: Estate brake upgrade - gareth7 - 22-11-2012

yes mate, a lot of HDi's came with 14" wheels as standard. All you'd need is the callipers, discs and pads.


RE: Estate brake upgrade - spike2002 - 22-11-2012

I have hdi 266 calipers and poss discs and pads for sale Wink


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Just Sean - 22-11-2012

So do i, brembo disks and pads


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Eeyore - 22-11-2012

gti brakes will be the easiest upgrade. Brembos cost a fair bit. The standard 266mm setup is surprisingly good on the estate!

I swear the 266mm setup on the estate is better than the gti callipers, drilled and grooved discs, mintex pads and braided lines on the 1.8 D: Maybe it has a stupidly sized master cylinder or something!


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Just Sean - 22-11-2012

im also selling a '6 master cylinder


RE: Estate brake upgrade - ben87 - 22-11-2012

buy seans master cyclinder
my callipers and discs
swampys braided brake lines and youll have an awesome little set up Smile

haha


RE: Estate brake upgrade - Just Sean - 22-11-2012

Everyones a winner!
