283mm 307 Brakes on a S16

[Pingaz]

I agree with Rippthrough, mine are great now everythings been changed, all new brake lines throughout and brake hoses with good quality discs and pads and fluid.

yours is a HDI ? That as the same brakes right ?

Yes mine is a HDI, and has the same Lucas 266mm brakes as yours but with pagid discs and pads, depends how you find it as your running another 30 bhp on top of mine, but I find the 266s fine most of the time, id say just get some really good pads in and leave it at that as its much cheaper and will be just as good with less unsprung weight (unless your planning on loads of 100-0 stops)

Well i'll be honest, I've though on going to a track day, i'm about to order some Black Diamond braided lines (Don't know if they are actually good).

But i only plan to do 1 or 2 track days a year. Don't know if it's worth it going for a Ferodo racing 2500 and some OEM Discs. Probably try that and if i'm not to happy, i'll go with 4piston brembos with 283mm xsara discs

But i'm open for some sugestions, incluiding for the track day !

I have the 307 282mm calipers, discs and pads. Everything fits fine but very tight under the 15" Laser alloy wheels. You will need the longer brake hoses from the 306 266mm Lucas calipers.

307 282mm calipers have a 55mm piston, same as the 266mm 306 calipers (iirc) vs the 306 GTI 283mm calipers have a 57mm piston.

307 282mm discs are also 4mm thicker, so the disc weighs a little more than the 306 GTi discs.

I've heard that i didnt need longer brake hoses
