#1: OEM brakes on GTi 180 Author: cheekyage, Location: AustraliaPosted: Sun Nov 24, 2013 4:45 pm ---- Hi all,
Does anyone know what brake pads and discs are the standard OEM ones?
The same as what rolled out of the factory.
Brand and part number would be very useful
Looking to replace the existing and still debating on keep it all original or upgrading to performance parts.
Cheers

If you have never done it i would also advise replacing the brake fluid with fresh stuff and you could also replace your brake lines with some nice braided ones if you fancy a bit of bling and upgrading them.
The links i've put on are only examples just to give an idea, any decent OE spec discs and pads with some fresh fluid with stop the car plenty well for road use.

I thought they were Bendix or something?

If you're very particular about keeping it stock oe, then it may be difficult to achieve that in our part of the world cause peugeot themselves don't use the exact same brand as it came out of the factory. I remember popping by peugeot servicing and saw boxes of TRW. but nz is just a tiny country so there aren't many choices in parts, so it could be different across the ditch
Id personally go with what DanT recommended. can't go wrong with using brembo oem replacement discs and ferodo pads.

Who made the calipers is also a mixture ... some have Bendix, some Lucas I think ...

Nope, as i said thats just what i'd recommend, there's zero point in trying to figure out what Peugeot fitted at the time imo, when you can buy cheaper, better parts to replace them.
