Apart from the weight saving (around 2kg a side?) what other advantages are there of Ash's kit over the 406 V6 discs when used with Renaultsport Brembos?I know Rich W had the V6 discs and then upgraded, anyone else? Is it just a squeel thing? As £100 for some 406 discs, or £300 for the fitting kit and £200 for some rotors, not much comparison there for me! ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

no squeal!!they are more powerful and cope with far more heat too, simply epic with RC6's, not like anything I've experienced before  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Its a disc.... theres only 5mm diameter in it.... cant see that making FA difference Have you used both?

5mm? its 310mm vs 288mm, that's 22mm....406 V6 brembo's only use 305mm when on a 405 or 406. the pistons are larger in the Renault sport brembo's, as well as a larger pad area. yes I have used both, granted one was on standard pads and the other on uprated, but there was a significant difference. I (and Adam who's car it was) couldn't live with the incessant howling, it can apparently be solved by using Tarox G88 discs, but they cost nearly as much as Ash's kit. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

they squeal because the disc is off centre to the caliper line right? is the caliper to far out or to far in causing the offset.________________________________________ 1997 ph1 bianca GTI6 - The looker1996 ph1 Sigma GTI6 - Dead  1999 Red Rallye - The Daily 2005 Nissan Navara D40 - Family car 1968 Mustang Coupe - The dirty little secret Put ya foot down, put ya foot down we'll loose em easy! |

Not right  My Ap's squeal with the 406 V6 discs and they are dead centre in the caliper  I dont think it helps that i run some lairy brake pads with high carbon content as it seems at certain temps (dead cold or rather hot) there is no squeal.I made my kit as a budget performance kit and that it is, it came in under £700 and when replacing the discs its not going to cost me a testicle  I havent driven a car with Ash's kit on so cant compare but apart from the squeal i dont see there being a massive difference between the 2 as long as some good quality 406 V6 305mm discs are used ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

I've moved from a 288mm xantia disc using the 406 brembos and standard pads to Ash's kit using RC6s.I guess part of the problem with comparing them is that the pads are very different, but one major factor will be the weight of the discs. Ash's weighed significantly less than the xantia discs and the RS calipers are larger and lighter as well. Pad and piston area is bigger too. If you want a passenger ride then i'm more than happy to scrape you off the windscreen/dash any time  PS do you have to get the 406 V6 discs machined to get them to fit on the 306 hub with the calipers then? Different offset isn't it..? ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

the offset of the 406 disc puts it closer to wheel which stops you being able to space the caliper to fit. you would need epic spoke clearance and at least 17 wheels i would of thought |

what offset is the standard disc, its about 43mm from memory? Plenty of other discs which could be redrilled that are around that offset. I had assumed there was a reason why the 406 disc was used, apart from no mods being needed to make it fit________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

(I missed this hence my comments earlier in the thread) V6 coupe wheels are 7x16" ET12, other coupes did use 15" of the same style. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
