#2: Re: bigger brakes Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:43 am ---- You can do the 406 route for as little as £300 if you shop around. Buy 180 discs to fit....
#3: Re: bigger brakes Author: jase-206-gti, Location: doncasterPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 6:46 am ---- could i use the 307 discs with the brembo calipers do you know
#4: Re: bigger brakes Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 6:47 am ---- not sure on that..... your better off going for new discs and pads anyway.. I am not a lover of secondhand discs and pads
#5: Re: bigger brakes Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:18 am ---- I have the 307 set up on
Mine and is more than adequate for around 200 bhp
#6: Re: bigger brakes Author: jase-206-gti, Location: doncasterPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:20 am ---- iv seen a new set of 302mm drilled and grooved discs with pads on fleebay for £103
#7: Re: bigger brakes Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:50 am ---- what's the point of put bigger brakes on the car but only use sh** pad?
#8: Re: bigger brakes Author: jase-206-gti, Location: doncasterPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:04 am ---- i suppose i need to decide what caliper to use before i think about my pads may just use the 307 ones with some greenstuff pads

#11: Re: bigger brakes Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:10 am ---- The GTi 180 brakes are more than adequate for any 206 other than those with well over 200bhp.

what do you need from the 406 and alernatively what other set-ups are bigger than mine?
You need 406 v6 brembo calipers and pads and 206 gti 180 discs

what do i need to fit them is it just a case of bang the calipers on and bleed them up or are they on different carriers?
The brembos dont have a separate carrier.
