Brembo upgrade - 406V6 to clio 197

[philip r]

i'm running a 288 discs on 406 brembo's, thought to upgrade to clio's 197 brembo's with 305mm discs from 406 V6? is it worth it?

How do I make the adapter? Does anyone have the measurements? or i can bay it somewhere?


Thanks a lot guys

I've run them using the pendulum motorsport 310mm kit. A world of difference - simply awesome..
Will only fit under 16s though

I wouldn't use the 305mm 406 discs, they are immensely heavy and also very low offset, meaning very few wheels will fit.

What wheels are you running?

16 or above you could run some 310 or 330 rotors which are like night and day compared to the 288mm dics's

What other options I have? which disc will fit and not be very expensive.
406 305 very heavy? how much? compare to the 288 xantia one.

I have gti6 brakes on my 200 ish bhp zx with o.e.m citroen pads, they are enough.

your wheels are also very heavy.

Yeah but you don't compete your car in a hot climate Mei.

There is that, all the group N clios still run std calipers, though with sparky brake pads, seen them come in off a Belgian stage roasting but they still work!

[adam b]

That's what I was going to do tbh

thanks welshpug, the difference between xantia 288 and the 406 305 is only 0.22 kg. not so much.
what do you recommend? what 310mm option i have?

[philip r]

Does anyone have a diagram/sizes of the bracket i should have to fit the clio brembos to a 306?
