How can i find out what calipers will fit the front on the VTR?

I want some brembo calipers, but im not sure what size will fit!

Bigger = Better

what do you mean? off another car?
what size wheels?
why will bigger be better?

Well i want some Big brembo calipers that will fit under the standard front wheels.

A- For stopping power
B- For looks

Ive been looking at a few and they seem to go for around £300 for a good set and i dont want to get a pair that will be useless.

you wont get any brembos that fit under standard wheels.

Ste · 27th March 2007, 16:35

sorted lol

Can you recommend any good calipers?

Just get some calipers from a vehicle in the PSA range that runs 266mm front discs.

Scrappers/ebay, etc.

Job done.

Ive gota 266mm setup on my VTR. got the calipers from a 2005 1.9 berlingo van.

williams will sell you a set !

you want big brakes, williams is the man to see, simple as that!

you can fit 266mm 206 gti discs and calipers behind standard vtr rims.

you can go bigger if you want but you will need vts rims or 15" alloys.

206 gti 180 discs are 283mm and have bigger calipers (i have these and they are mint lol)

306 gti-6 discs are 283mm and have similar but different calipers to the 206 gti 180, these will also fit.

i have herd that any new pug over 1.6 has the same style and size calipers than the 206 gti 180 and the 306 gti-6, these will also fit the sax without and mods and will fit with 283mm discs.

406 v6 coupe calipers just fit the 15" rim with 283mm discs, the 406 discs are too big for the saxo lol

i have herd of some peeps having to grind back a bit of the 306 gti-6 calipers to fit on the saxo, i had no probs at all with the 206 gti 180 calipers, went straight on

the calipers to go for are willwood 4 pots matey, most should fit from any car, all you will need is a mounting bracket for a saxo from willwood them selves

its teh 307 1.6 and above that have the 283mm boz. havent had a look at any bigger cars yet though so may be the same. cant be arsed to read through my book either

and yeah, some calipers need grinding on the rear to fit onto the strut otherwise they wont line up and you wont be able to get the bolts in.

Put these little puppies on mine...Clicky and they fit lovely under standard 14" VTR alloys.

Bargain price as well. Less than half price then if bought direct from Citroen Sport France
