you can get the vtr calipers and discs to fit IIRC. will let someone else clarify though!

[nufcsteve]

im not sure, im new to the saxo's really, my first car was a saxo 1.1 forte, but that was four years ago, now i have a furio! I think you can put the VTR discs on without any problems!

All saxos share the same front brake discs (247mm) and calipers. VTR and VTS have same 247mm discs at the rear.

Vented discs doesn't really improve braking but reduces brake fade, so buying these would be a waste of money.

You have choices of upgrading to 206 gti calipers, discs (266mm or 268mm) and pads and 206 gti 180 which are (282 or 283).

I fitted new 266mm setup to my vts and that's more enough depending on mods.

I reckon adding rear disc setup will require rear sub frame from a vtr, but sure on this.

If your going to upgrade your brakes go bigger

:oops: saxo's don't have a rear subframe :oops:

yer i know about the 106 gti brakes but i thought you needed at least 15" alloys to fit them, what exactly do you have to grind then?

[3cott]

The gti6 carrier fouls on the strut! That's why it needs grinding

[shaney_b]

[3cott]

[shaney_b]

i know but i cant be arsed grinding stuff down lol! i where goin to get 15s anyway so may aswell get em before i upgrade brakes init?

[Steve]

citroen berlingo brakes fit.
266mm disc and get the pads to match.

need to grind a small part off the top of the carrier to fit.
Just use decent OEM discs and pads with them and you will notice the difference.

Can also use 206gtibrakes and others.
There is a thread on here with what fits what doesnt have a search.

Think other 283mm off 307 HDI's fit under 15's without grinding.

if you want a massive upgrade, and have the time, get brembos!

(oh im selling some...)

[Denno09]

all the same as long as there the same size as standard mate

[Denno09]

Cheers mate.
Will would vtr/vts front discs fit a saxo 1.1

[Denno09]

Anyone ^^^

[nichollsvts]

Not sure to be honest. Although the discs are the same size, Rear standard discs are solide not vented so you should check if there solid or vented.
