VR6Steve 0 Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I have ready to go on mine a set of Zimmerman cross drilled discs and Pagid pads along with a set of Godridge hoses. My mates 16v has the same discs and pads and is more then happy (he does not drive slowly and can often be seen cornering on 3 wheels!)Got the pads and discs from GSF for under £100 Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 what years your vr6 pete.svr6?if it's pre -96, it'll most likely have 280mm, you're better spending the extra and gettin a set of second hand 288mm front calipers with standard pads/discs.either way, unless you overheat your brakes there's not much point in getting uprated stuff as they don't work as well from cold, and often ruin pedal feel.

Pete.sVR6 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 acf8181, the car is a 96 P reg, sounds like good advice just thought an upgrade would be the way forward? standard setup, compared to some cars i have owned is very good though. Link to post Share on other sites
Andy B 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 quite agree acf8181, but i have found the green stuff range very effective from cold and they work very well when warm to give that little extra help when braking, std discs still on my 94 Link to post Share on other sites
