Brake disks and pads

Juego · 04-03-11, 07:10 PM

I need new rear disks and have decided just to do the full lot. Problem is the seller has two types listed

What size are my front and rear disks and pads on my 1.6? Quick answer would be appreciated as my rear pads are metal to metal and ones squeaking on my disk and driving me nuts!

I always thought the 1.6 had drums, or is that only the rare 1.4 that has?

If it's a very late 1.6 it might have discs but most had drums

Incidentally, what are the best pads for the front brakes on a 180? I know this Q gets asked a lot...

My car has disks and pads all round, seeing as i drive the car and know what i'm looking at! :lol:

I ordered the disks and pads last night, bought a brake box off ebay for ?66, it'll do for now as my cars mainly only used for work and back

I've ordered a full set of fronts and rears, done a google search. My 1.6 has 262mm fronts and 239mm rears so ordered them. Can't wait to get them done as the squealing is doing my head in! Rears are metal to metal, cos the rear calipers that far out it catches my disk and squeals it's head off
