said he wants to keep his alloys
tbh with 3 studs there are more issues than disc clearance as there are 2 types of caliper and one has different size studs so ax gt stuff wont fit
need to see whats on your car first like

all saxos/106s with 3 stud used the shit big/little caliper bolt arrangement so only option is discs pads and lines.
best guy to ask is Mikol

exactly
best way to do it is pillage AX parts. think he managed to get vented discs on the front
but it aint a quick job!

LOLWUT
As said, ALL 3 stud saxo/106 have the little and large arrangement. (Except, interestingly, Saxo 1.5D 3 studs which should have the other one, but are like hen's teeth - I've never personally seen one to confirm)
Don't even bother with the AX conversions - they're a lot of hassle for little gain. The GT mk1 stuff is too large for 13" wheels, GT mk2 is the same as 1.1 brakes on a 4 stud car.
For either of the above you'll need to swap out your struts so you might as well go whole hog and do the 4 stud conversion with VT* parts and you're onto a winner.
Plus it'd be cheaper and save you hunting around for knackered 20 year old parts.
