I didnt get a chance to measure disc thickness earlier, but if i remember right they're 26mm thick instead of 22mm like the gti6's.

would those discs fit GTI calipers?
You're looking for a disc change then? or are those calipers different also?

Discs wont fit in gti6 callipers, they're too thick and offset is different.

PS, the entire brakes have a different offset, as per Airaines and nimrod wheels need spacers when fitted to a 306. They sit further in so technically they are VERY suitable for anyone with 15" wheels and clearance issues... like my old fondmetal 4000's or some other dished wheels.
