283mm 307 Brakes on a S16
#6
I have the 307 282mm calipers, discs and pads. Everything fits fine but very tight under the 15" Laser alloy wheels. You will need the longer brake hoses from the 306 266mm Lucas calipers.

307 282mm calipers have a 55mm piston, same as the 266mm 306 calipers (iirc) vs the 306 GTI 283mm calipers have a 57mm piston.

307 282mm discs are also 4mm thicker, so the disc weighs a little more than the 306 GTi discs.
