Im planning on uprating my saxo vtr brakes to gti6 items.
Would i be able to fit the whole assembly from the hubs to my saxo driveshafts, wishbones and dampers?
Also how much would i be looking to pay for gti6 hubs, calipers, etc?

As far as I am aware, i didnt think the hubs needed changing?!
gti6 calipers are around pretty cheap nowadays...search on here or gti6 owners forum...I got a full set (front and rear) for 50quid

To fit a Saxo you just need the caliper, carrier, disks pads and longer brake hoses.
As for the rears, all the disc are the same, though some 306 gti6 have a larger piston

No the caliper is the same
Most of them are the same piston size but some have a slightly larger piston diameter
