cheers swampy just hating having no brakes at high speed and some have come up
although they have hispec on the braket there is no label on the fronts just a recess have checked the site and they look exactly the same
probably going to have to take a wheel off and use the template the tell you to make to check clearances

I would look to pay around £200-£300 depending on the condition of the pads and discs.
Mine fit with plenty of room under Superleggereas, and under some cheap 15's BRC Alloys. IIrc someone on here with a carbon bonnet and boot Mk1 in the rare blue colour had them under 205 gti's, not sure if he had spacers though.

1. not used 266s, but hispecs i prefered to a few other set ups ive run
2. No they wont fit unless you run spacers etc...
3. Depends on condition and whats included, they are expensive new £350 even is fair second hand.

braided lines are standard on all kits

They look like mine but yours have 3 bolts on each side of them - mine have 2, and no writing on the front (old pictures):
