they are 6.5" J and the same ET12 offset, so they'd possibly have about ¼ of an inch less clearance, can't say for definite as I've never tried them, you may be lucky with them if you're using C5/Xantia discs and 406 brembo calipers.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Anyone happen to know if this 310mm setup would fit a 106 gti as 306 gti brakes fit straight onto a 106. I have 406 brembos on my 106 at the moment but wanted something different as its become a popular upgrade on the 106 ocMany thanks |

You dont know what he has under the bonnet Engine power is largely irrelevant in the context of what braking power is needed. It's the vehicle's mass you need to decelerate and the power levels of the engine won't affect that (unless it's a transplant obviously, but even then the weight change is negligible). You only need to consider brake upgrades if the standard equipment doesn't suit your driving style or if the vehicle's top speed has been significantly increased. ________________________________________ Rich |

precisely  just to highlight, the Citroen C2 R2 max and quite a few of the Saxo and 106 S1600 rally cars ran 315mm brembo's, alcons or AP's, as well as being balanced with a set of 260mm 2 pot rear's. but these cars are 200-230 bhp very short ratio'd cars, and give the brakes an absolute hammering every single stage. bear in mind that these cars have remote rest dampers and sticky tyres, as well as proper plate LSD's, so the time the tyre is in contact with the ground and the grip they have so much higher than a road car could dream of. stick these on a 106 road car and you'll end up locking wheels everywhere. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

106gti callipers are more than up to the job on a 106 with decent pads.  gti6calipers make them lock up at every opportunity so brembos would be ridiculous.... if you want some info on 106 brakes google and phone jtech in reading they had a race 106 they ran. and will put you straight when it comes to 106 brakes. putting brembos on it will be purely for show . |

Thanks for the imput guys. I still wanna try this as the squeel from my 406 brembos annoys me and i would like something different to the other 106's on the 106oc even if its not so obvious. Where should i be looking to get the 310mm discs for this conversion? Thanks again |

A bit of a contradiction: "Engine power is largely irrelevant " yet, "or if the vehicle's top speed has been significantly increased" how else do you increase the top speed without increasing engine power! he he |

Weight removal? Gearing? It depends what's at the limit when top speed is reached.The point I was getting at is that you'd upgrade the brakes because the car can now travel a lot faster not purely because you now have a lot more power. Would you need to upgrade the brakes if you had 400bhp but your gear ratios only allowed a top speed of 100mph? ________________________________________ Rich |

All depends on use, what sort of tracks racing etc. Its once the weight goes up stopping become more difficult |

Porsche Cayenne Turbo 6 pots are far, far better than Tarox 10 pots with the same sized disc.  I have upgraded mine on a road car and even with everything else standard (cept the wheels obviously) I would thoroughly recommend the setup. There is a big, big difference. As a rule i've never found standard Peugeots to be badly under braked or have poor Peugeot pads. The only one I can really think of is the 406 saloon/estate V6 which has the same fronts as my 1.9 dTurbo 406. Slightly scary on something 200kgs heavier than a 6, but quicker and faster too...  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
