Just been given a C15 Citroen van.
Has the same manifold as a Xantia and bigger brakes than mine.
Don't want GTI6 brakes cos then I will need new wheels, speedlines don't fit without faffing and I like the 14" 1.6 GTI wheels that are on it. And no, I'm not putting clones on it, although -40mm is on the cards.
The way I see it, if these brakes are capable of stopping a fully loaded van, capable of carrying up to another 800kg than the vehicle, then they are capable of stopping my lightweight car at speed. Same as my Berlingo brakes which are very good and responsive.
Gonna strip it tomorrow I think.
