Cool keep us updated mate I purchased some 406 brembos yesterday and I have the 306 gti6 wheels 15" so will also need to use 20mm spacers.
What pads and disks are you going to be using think I'm going for the 406 pads and the xantia 283mm disks.

im going to be using 283mm discs also from the xantia.
Ill be using oe quality 406 pads, its going to be used daily on the road, it wont be seeing a track so i think standard pads should be fine 
Im changing the mastercylinder, ive spoken to people who have used standard cylinders and say its fine, just takes a bit of getting used to, the pedal has a bit more travel than normal.
Im only swapping it as one came up at a good price

There are no noises as of yet, but there not fully bed in.
Ill know for sure in about 500-1000 ish miles if ill get any squeaking haha..
Also, even with a 23mm master cylinder theres a bit of travel before you start to slow down.
Id dread to think what a standard one feels like :/
