#36: Re: Ape's 206 Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 3:29 am ---- Nope, it came out of the factory with rear discs. I did beef up the rear with a complete GTi180 rear beam and Gti180 front brakes along with other bits and pieces.

#38: Re: Ape's 206 Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 3:43 am ---- For mine it was easy as it already had discs. Just disconnected the brake lines, wiring and handbrake cables, fitted the new rear axle which had the arms, discs, calipers etc already on and connected it back up. I think my project thread for it all is still on here somewhere. If not let me know and I'll post it up.

#40: Re: Ape's 206 Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 4:31 am ---- They're still operated by brake fluid yes. It's almost plug and play with a bit of fiddling with pipework from drums to discs. You may not have the ABS wiring for the rear that does with it, you may also have a little trouble with the braking bias too. Something I didn't really look into as I was doing the modification moreso for the torsion and Anti roll bars, all rear disc axles have the same brake setup you see so for me it was plug and play.
