Guest kyler000 Posted October 1, 2007 I am interested in buying groved discs and green stuff brake pad all round on my 1.9 gti. I have heard that the brakes arent that great standard, would this be a good way to go or should i go for a larger caliper and disc upgrade as i intend on fitting cams and twin 45s therefore braking will be important. I am fitting 15" wheels. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted October 1, 2007 Good condition standard brakes are more than suitable for a relatively standard 205 1.9 GTi. Whoever said that standard brakes aren't up to much was wrong in most cases. The 1.9 GTi has 15" wheels as standard already. Try searching as there are lots of topics with regards to brakes already posted so you will have plenty of opinions to read through. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

projectpug 0 Posted October 7, 2007 id go for some braided hoses - groved disks and some uprated pads im using green. Ive found the combination brilliant and unfadable even on mega track stints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acox99 71 1 Cars Posted October 8, 2007 I found the standard brakes to be crap after i bought one that had been sitting for ages and the brake were basically rust!! but once i had cleared them they were great, pugs tend to have pretty good brakes as long as you don't replace them with total sh*t, in my experience anyway.
