Newbie question gti6 brakes
 
Hi all, I'm looking at getting 306 gti brake set up but what exactly do I need? Disc, callipers. Would I need to uprate the brake lines?
I know it's a newbie question but thanks for the help guys

you would need the calipers, the disks, the pads, and i think probably some longer flexi lines, most tend to use braided lines :y: also a larger master cylinder to reduce pedal travel.

if its just for a road car then i wouldnt bother with gti6 285mm brakes, some 266mm brakes of a 307hdi or similar will be plenty sufficient, these are what i have and are perfect when set up correctly.

Do they fight behind standard rims?

i didnt need new hoses, didnt need mc either, standard one was fine

They won't fit behind 14" wheels though, and I think you would need the calliper carrier too.
I've yet to fit mine, I took them off my old 406 exec turbo. You can also Rob them from 406 2.1 turbo diesels.

everyone always says make sure you get carrier too, but ive never seen anyone selling calipers without the carrier

Just if you go to the scrap yardto get some, always get the carriers too.
