Better off with a 266mm upgrade or 283mm upgrade from like the 206gti or 306gti-6 mate. You'll pay similar money of maybe even less for those kits if you get one second hand mate!!

i blagged my calipers, but bought genuine pug discs and pads.

calipers can be had from scrap-yards for £15-£25 a caliper, or just do a deal with em

not much detail there tbh.
What calipers? not need carriers aswel?
If your going to recommend something please go into detail 
If you mean the brembos, there hard to find cheap. Then got to pay a load for the right offset discs, then need either stupid spacers or pay for new wheels to get them to fit.
Not cheap at all tbh.
There is a thread exactly the same as this with the same link where there is some good reading to be had.

206 gti are 266 disc size and fit under 14s
206 gti 180 are 283 disc size and fit under 15s, you need 15s at least for these

im assuming if you get the 266mm discs you need to get the 206gti calipers and pads to match? will they go straight or have you got to mix and match diff calipers and discs etc ?
