I understand that much.
brakes convert the kenetic energy of the cars movement, via friction, into heat

Sparks are just hot iron particles from the pad/disc surface, they don't really show how much heat is in the disc, just that the disc is fairly soft or the pad fairly hard.

Not sure why this is even a topic.......with 302s you cant have cyclones!! :o So clealy the '6 set up is best.
I got fade now and then in the 1.4 (266s) but maybe that was moreto do with the drums? Also got it once bad in the 1.8 (266s and rear discs) after having to slow for a speed camera, then sped up and got round a corner and had to emergency stop from 70mph........almost shat myself! Don't remeber getting it any more in the 1.8 though, so I'd imagine the '6 set up would be be fine for most driving except unusaul circumstances (like the one above).

Yeah I'm sure you never speed, plus I was young and stupid and only just got 115bhpz lol. Also, having to STOP from 70mph isn't exactly an everyday thing....especially just after slowing from 'another' high speed.

Should have gone for Mintex discs to get the maximum out of that setup mate as they are matched friction technology.

All 307s are abs mate so don't worry about that.
Iirc they fit straight on once you find the right discs but I'm sure someone will confirm this!

^^ thought you meant that; you dont need to worry iirc; you just dont need to plug the sensors in (as there isn't anywhere to plug em in!!)

Right! I've now decided on GTi6 283mm brakes.
So I'll ask another question :roll:
Which pad/disk combo is best?

Don't bother with OEM. Cooked a set on track in a few laps, the 1144's have been bulletproof!
