I know it's been like 8 years and no one probably cares anymore, but did you ever get anywhere with this? I have a 1.6TDI and i'm proper curious... :D

To be fair i have heard a lot about the EBC Pads, I think they mention them on TDC, Auto Alex and that on Youtube. I will be sure to give them a look! To be fair I don't know the spec on the stock OCtavia Mk3 brakes i have but they do a good job, just feel they could be better so maybe this is the play... Thanks for the insight. Kind curious as well why you're having trouble with the wheel nuts, and is that on the vRS or the BMW?

Hi all! My first post here, TLDR at bottom... I have admitably not the car most would consider modding as opposed to just replacing it with a quicker or more advanced model, but it's what i've got to work with and to be honest holds some sentimental value for me now as it's the longest i've owned a car and bought it when our first child was to be born... just as background info. My car is a 1.6TDI Octavia Mk3 from 2015 with the 7 speed DQ200 Transmission, which is a great car, although I always wanted a bit more from it as it's not really exciting in any way at all. It's recently been remapped, which hasn't caused me any problems at all and it still runs well. Next steps though, I would like to try and upgrade the brakes on the car, but i've been struggling to find information on what I could put on it. Does anyone have any reccomendations as to the following? Braided Brake Lines? Caliper upgrades Good options for Pads and Discs? This would need to be good for road use, I'm not blasting it round a track or anything though it does spend most of it's road life on M roads, and I'm noticing sometimes that even just driving normally the brakes seem to be struggling a little sometimes, which i think is because the discs need changing soon so thought now would be a good time to look into some upgrades for braking in general. TLDR: Ayone have road worthy brake upgrade reccomendations for a (roughly) 1.6TDI Octavia Mk3 Diesel auto with a presumed 140 BHP.
