Hello all i am still learning about 206's i have just recently bought a set of GTi calipers and was wondering what size brake discs i need to buy?
was on euro car parts and the vented discs for the 206 1.4 is smaller in diameter to the GTi180
is there any size differnece between the GTi 138 and the GTi 180?
thanks again
Rob

GTI 180 has a 283mm disc the GTI has a 266mm so yes there different, but also have you got early calipers or late calipers as there is a difference in the width too.

there's two different brake disc dimensions for Gti calipers these are 266mm x 20.5mm for early type, 266mm x 22mm for the later.
Then its 283mm x 26mm for gti 180 calipers.

The 138 GTi discs also have a different offset too. You'd have to put the calipers on the car and do some measuring to work out which discs you need.
Do the calipers have little U shaped clips where the pads sit? They are the latest calipers but earlier calipers also use the later thicker discs too. Basically there are 3 types of caliper.

There gonna be vented disc's & the size will either be:
266mm x 20.4mm
OR
266mm x 22mm
You MUST use the correct type disc & matching pads for the calipers in question!
