It's time to upgrade my 308 GTi brake discs and pads!

[@TheAxeflight]

Great vids ! Enjoyed it ! Next upgrade for me also for sure godspeed as you did ! I have a question : Where do you put your jacks stands for the front ?

[@xiolage]

I put them on the pinch welds, but been advised to not do this and sit them on the chassis rails. ☺️

[@SapphireSamC]

Great video, very useful, cheers bud. Great to see you torquing up the wheel bolts at the end. I do mine to 120nm as I do track days. Apparently the spec for the front caliper Allen key bolts are to be torqued up to 108nm 👌👍

[@xiolage]

Spot on. Yep, torquing wheels is my biggest OCD on a car.. super simple to do yet most just tighten them up until it feels “right” 🤣

[@ethanrobo41]

Your weight loss is insane bro 👌

[@xiolage]

Thanks dude! 😊

[@Kjenep]

Fantastic video! How many mm were your disc before replacing and how many km did they go? Mine are at 30.5mm now😬

[@xiolage]

Just under 31mm, 44,000miles 😊

[@td-1095]

Have you noticed a ticking noise that increases/decreases (depending on how fast your going) since you have fitted the godspeed front discs? I've also noticed it quietens down/stops the ticking noise when I apply the brakes (in my case) - presumably when the pads are making contact with the disk... I had my discs & pads fitted about 1-2k miles ago roughly, it's still noticeable in my case.

[@xiolage]

Yeah this is a trait of any drill/slotted disc as the pad goes over the vents. 😁

[@C_J__]

The part you removed from the caliper isn't an adapter plate its basically a weight Peugeot installed on later models to help in preventing squeel I.E sod all. Get yourself a pressure bleeder. You'll kick yourself you didn't get one sooner.

[@xiolage]

A huge help, thank you. Will look into it!

[@markhollinshead4153]

Great video, those new discs look great. I’ve had my gti for nearly two weeks now and in the same colour as yours and it looks stunning in the sun

[@xiolage]

Thank you, have to agree this is the best colour! 💙

[@Adeyspec]

solid upgrade

[@xiolage]

😎 you know it

[@yanpeyer5686]

Do you remeber why the EBC yellow stuff rear pads did not fit? Watched all your vids :)

[@xiolage]

It was a slightly different shape of pad. 308 GTis came with 2 different brake setups and I mistakenly chose the wrong pad!

[@BlommanSwed]

Next question 😅 What about the Pistons? Any special way to push them in? Thinking about the electric handbrake. Cant get the Piston to get in. 😢

[@BlommanSwed]

I have no computer to put the handbrake in service mode. Just got a Delphi from china. Help please 😊

[@xiolage]

Just push the front ones in, I’m not sure about the rear.. they maybe screw in?

[@BlommanSwed]

@@xiolage Im just working on the rear ones. Bur you must have pushed your Pistons in??

[@xiolage]

@BlommanSwed The front pistons just pushed in yep.

[@BlommanSwed]

@@xiolage Still om just talking about the rear 😂

[@HoliSupps]

I am looking at getting one of these as my next car. Is ir worth getting one with aeoumd 80k miliage on it though, i dont hear many of these making it past 100k. Thanks

[@xiolage]

I’ve not heard of many past 100k, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible but most people tend to keep it under that.

[@BlommanSwed]

Are we sure the T55 are counter clockwise? Cant get thoose to lose, i use so much force!!

[@xiolage]

Yep, counter clockwise!

[@BlommanSwed]

@@xiolage The where titghen with locktight, thats et they where so hard to loosen!! That cant be right? Do you know the torque to titghen then with??

[@xiolage]

@BlommanSwed Yep sounds about right. I can’t remember off the top of my head.. I just googled it 😁

[@BlommanSwed]

@@xiolage Cant find the torque on Google 😢

[@BlommanSwed]

Or maybe 😂 100NM for the T55. 30 for the sliper bolts.

[@joewebster1]

I just brought the rear yellowstuff pads from godspeed, saw you couldn't fit them, are they just the wrong part?

[@xiolage]

I think the seller sent the wrong part. I haven’t tried Godspeed direct, you may have better luck!

[@Ru5hion]

My bad if this is a silly question but I was looking at 308 gti's as my next car and was wondering if you could change the brakes on a 270 to brakes that you'll find on a 250 instead? Those brake prices are insane 🤣

[@xiolage]

I’m sure you can, not sure if it’d be worth the cost instead of just replacing the discs and pads? 🤔

[@Ru5hion]

@xiolage Sorry what do you mean, I know aftermarket options are cheaper than what Peugeot will charge but even then wouldn't it still be more cost effective? I'm still tryna learn more about cars especially this one so idk much about how difficult changing the setup would be

[@xiolage]

Changing the setup would cost a lot more than simply replacing the discs and pads. 🤘🏼

[@Ru5hion]

@@xiolage Appreciate the reply 👍🏿👊🏿

[@BlommanSwed]

The back discs, did u really need to loose the electric handbrake?

[@xiolage]

I reference this in the video, but essentially you may be able to do it without removing the handbrake. 😊

[@BlommanSwed]

@@xiolage Ok that was what u meant when u did the other side?

[@xiolage]

@BlommanSwed Yep exactly that 😁

[@reece___5949]

how much does the front discs and pads cost compared to the oem?

[@xiolage]

Discs and pads from Godspeed and EBC came to around £1,000. I think OEM is just stupid high prices from Peugeot.

[@reece___5949]

@@xiolage damn😂 i’ve been looking at 308 gti’s for a second car but im only 19 and can’t justify the insurance and brake costs😂 i already pay 3800 for insurance on a 2018 audi A3 as it is lol

[@xiolage]

@reece___5949 Why not go for a 208 GTi? We had one and loved it just as much! Much cheaper costs.
