peugeot 406 coupe

[adam1490]

hello, just out of interest i was down the scrapyard earlier and i found a peugeot 406 coupe, with the calipers and brakes all in good nick, just wondering if these would fit on a saxo and if it would be a worthy upgrade, the breaks look pretty big, i think its the 1.8 one as the engine bay looked like this....

so im just wondering what size the brakes are on this, and if this set up would fit on a saxo? and also if i could use the master cylinder?

can anyone help?

brembos or normal calipers?

[SamW]

Brembos are on the 3litre V6 arent they? If they are then yes get them!

Also danny have you a grill for a MK1...

I think thye might be a different offset, correct me if I am wrong though.

[Gabbastard]

Theyre an incompatible offset.

[SamW]

Are they? I could of sworne they were compatible, my mistake

[Gabbastard]

I tried some against a spare saxo strut and they were out, youd need a +ve offset disc to have fitted them. Not to say other versions wont fit though.

The V6 ones fit the AX fine so they will fit a Saxo too. Plenty of people on this forum have used them on there Saxos already. If you do a search you will see a few of there posts. There a good brake caliper. As well as having far more stopping power they also weigh a lot less than the stock brakes. They are big though so you have to have something like 15” comp 2's to clear them. Some people use spacers on stock wheels to clear them but I would not recommend this.

I meant non-v6 ones btw :)

I meant non-v6 ones btw :)

had me doubting myself i knew the v6's one fit! shame on you lol

[dsh85]

im sure ive heard that the non v6 ones dont fit, it just seems madness that the v6 ones do and other dont!

also sam it went on ebay a while back sorry

[Sean_VTS]

The v6 ones definatly fit and they are brembos so a good find!!

The normal 406 coupe brakes dont fit though.

[adam1490]

dam these are just the normal ones :(, never mind i will look about and see if i can get some brakes of another car. what cars have brakes that are a good upgrade and fit? makes and models? as there might be a few cars down there i can get brakes off for cheap

306 gti6 (probably wont be there, rare at scrappy's) 206 gti, even 307 setups!!

[adam1490]
