[garybuk]

thinking about getting bigger discs for the front i have 16" wheels and my saxo is sx just wondering wot size i can get ,what do you think i shud get i get all the stuff about 160mm but not to sure about the calipers if the vts calipers are bigger then vtr/sx wot size could i go up to if i got vts calipers. would be greatfull for the help .

160mm??
standard vts/r brakes are 247mm
put some 283mm gti6/gti180/307 brakes on
or if you can find them 303mm 406 coupe brembo 4 pots.

yep, the gti discs off the normal gti and the 180 gti fit straight on, as do the 306 gti6 setup.

as williamsvts said, the 406 v6 coupe discs would be shit hot and good for the wow factor.

you can get a hi spec setup, check out simos! very nice :)

forgot to say, if you ony have 15" wheels and want the 406 bo's you can use them with the gti 180 discs :P

Thats gutting I was all set for the v6 Brembo's but when I asked around people told me I had no chance of fitting them with 15's.

I'll have make do with the Willwood 4 pots I suppose :)

[williamsvts]

you can, you need to use the 283mm discs and space the wheels out though.

306 hdi/xsi disks an calipers fit dont they ? arnt they 266mm theyd be ok for an upgrade if u ant got loadsa power and want better breaking

[garybuk]

lol im lost

[williamsvts]

basically:
14" wheels - 266mm max, you'll find these on: 206 gti, 307 1.6L>, and i think 306 s16/xsi

15"wheels - 285mm/283mm max, you'll find these on: 206 gti 180, 306 gti-6/rallye, 307 1.6L<, xsara vts

you can also use the 406 coupe brembo 4 pots with the 307/gti 180 283mm discs.

you also still use your saxo hoses.

hope that makes things a bit clearer?

[williamsvts]
