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
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

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
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
haha
RE: Estate brake upgrade - Just Sean - 22-11-2012
Everyones a winner!
