406 brembos on a 306
#1
I'm really tempted to get some 406 brembos for my 306. First of all is it actually worth doing? Also what do I need to fit them? I know that I will need bigger wheels. And I will need different discs and hoses but what 1s will I need?

I think they are supposed to stop very well but also squeel very loudly! I wouldn't have thought it'd be worth getting bigger wheels etc when Gti-6 brakes are pretty good and just bolt on.

You dont necessarily NEED bigger wheels, im fitting these under clones, just need 20mm spacers i believe and longer bolts kits are around 47 on ebay, the calipers bolt straight onto hub, you just need braided lines and 288mm xntia v6 disks and 406 pads iirc

I got some challengers to go on anyway. How come 288mm discs when they use 305mm on the 406 if I am correct? And when you say braided lines what can do they need to be off? Are 306 1s long enough?

Get swampy to make you lines. Different discs due to the offset of the discs and hub. I believe.

'6 brakes with decent pads and discs would be equally as good.

288mm are a direct fit as i think you may need brackets for the bigger discs as the hubs on a 406 space the brake out but i may be wrong, never looked into rotors or bigger discs,

As pompey said swampy will make you a set up he priced me around 50ish for front and back lines to suit rear disk gti6 and brembo front Smile

Yeah but brembo would look awesome! Smile

Thanks for you help guys! Just need to decide wether to do it or not as it will cost a bit Sad

pretty much this. if youve got the money to spunk and want to ultimate 306 then the brembos would be epic. for budget and still being awesome then the 6 brakes are so much better than any other 306 brakes.

I will upgrade to '6 brakes some day, as the standard 266 setup (I'm running basic pads on brembo discs) is not exactly confidence-inspiring!

I'm running hdi front brakes at the moment but I got a set of gti6 brakes to go on but then a mate said about the brembos! I got a spare set a gti6 brakes as well if anyone is interested. I will get some pics and put a sale tread up!

As said I can do custom spec front lines for £28.50 the pair deliverd

As for the gti6 calipers get them on the106 and Saxo forums price sensibly and they will sell quickly

You need xantia v6 288mm discs to use the 406 brembos.

If you've already got some '6 brakes I'd just run them, personally.
