Hi All,

new to Skoda ownership. Just got a high mile winter wagon, mk2 vrs estate to keep my beloved Elise 160 off the Highland roads a bit more this winter and lug loads around. Love this little car, what a cracking drive. Well tidy interior, very supportive seats and great handling for an estate. Just need to look at replacing brake discs n pads soon. Any good suppliers out there? Any recommendations for discs and pad combos? Fast road driving, well I do live in the Highlands!! Thanks

Hi, good choice of car!

 

For customisation I would look at superskoda but for parts probably Eurocarparts.

 

You can get good deals from Eurocarparts, at the minute there is a 35% discount code available. I bought Brembo discs and pads for mine but others like Pagid so between those two I would think.

Have a look at these people https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjY09Oo0p7ZAhWpC8AKHRrZCq0QFggyMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mtecbrakes.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw3wCNPLokLr2O-rHlSRlWnT

 

I have fitted grooved and dimpled to my Vrs and oh boy do they pull the vehicle up quickly, far superior to the OEM brakes.

Fitted Pagid disks and pads all round on my VRS. They have been great.

 

Also consider getting a set of steel wheels (I have some. PM if interested) and winter tyres for the winter. They make a massive difference.

 

+1 for the Pagid discs and pads got mine from https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/, and they come with silver coating for anticorrosion, make sure to get the correct diameter discs as there are different sizes available.

 

@FatblokeVRS: Do the steel wheels help with comfort/ride etc as the lead weight neptunes are really heavy?

Many thanks for the info and advice guys. 

Rear discs require the carrier to come off and they r a pig to access without ramps! They also use a special Tri square bit, cant recall the size though sorry
