anyway i looked into this problem by searching the 306 gti6 forum as it was more of a comman upgrade over there and come out with this info..
the discs required are from a xantia v6 and have proved a solution to the problem. i have recieved my set of these but have yet to fit them and see for myself.
anyway this was the main reason for the thread here is the discs and place to get them

i have seen a few reports of these been slightly wrong offset sitting further to one side in caliper?! but you had no probs?

I was one of those that said they sat heavily to one side of the caliper...and they do but they still seem to work fine. I saw some photos of other peoples setups and they were offset exactly the same.

I fitted mine at the weekend under spaced VTS wheels and they are brutual. They also dont squeal at the moment so thats good.

Just dont press the pedal too hard unless you want to smack your head on the windscreen haha

but the 307 discs are 26mm thick and the gti-6 are 22mm can you use a 22mm disc with the 307 calipers?
