306 brakes on a 106

[Piggy]

not getting any answers on 106oc...

the fact sheet on 106oc shows that 247mm vented discs and calipers (106gti etc) fit under 13" steels.

I have some really good 247mm discs and pads and calipers off the cossack I was going to fit to the 106nad...

but they dont seem to fit at all...as in they will go on but the 13" is no way going on...

any thoughts?!

i assumed the calipers would be the same?!

I know Samass has xsi brakes on his, but think that's under 14" steels

[Niall]

I think they only put the 247s under 14" wheels mate. I know mine were smaller than that on my 106 and the wheel was filled but that was 13" 3 stud lol

[Chris_90]

says on here that the 247 should fit under 13's unless the 247's are different between the 106/306

Just get some 15's on it and put 283mm on there you will need that extra stopping power when you xud it

[Piggy]

the standard disc size on pov 106s is 247mm...the upgrade is the vented disc and larger caliper.

283mm is good enough to stop any upgraded gti6...

bit silly for a car 250kg+ lighter!

the 1.9 is only 15kg heavier than a 1.5

Everyone on 205 forum raves about the standard 205 GTI 1.9 247 calipers being the business with decent pads. Might be worth a look? Fit under 14's.

I'm fairly sure my ph1 1.4 had 247mm brakes under the 13' steelies

[Anton]

Smallest brakes fitted to a 306 were 247's and lots came with 13's as standard.

[Piggy]

must be these particular steels....grrrrr

[samass]

Space em out

OR, I have the old 13" steels off the nad if you want, all with good tyres. I give you good price.

[Piggy]

nah seriously, spaced out would be an understatement...I tried the 13" steels on the 306 with the 247s and they just touched, so I got some cheap 5mm spacers....
fitted it all up the 106 and I would need like 20/25mm hubcentrics!!!

could you take a pic of the 13s...so I can see if they look diff?!

[samass]

Yeah sure, ill get one as soon as I can. Inside and out?

[Piggy]

yeah, just curiosity killing me now
