been asked millions of time but cant find the answer for my question, if i get a full brembo set up including the carrier off the 406 what does it need doing to fit? do i need to make an adaptor? or is that just for under certain wheels? and if so would you kindly list the wheels they will fit straight under with no mods please, thanks chris

The complete 406 setup doesn't fit directly onto the 306.The closest you can get is to use 288mm Citroen Xantia discs with the 406 calipers. This will work with a select few 15" alloys (Compomotive CXR's for example) and with most alloys that are 16" and above. The caliper to wheel spoke clearance is the issue. I believe Ash can still supply a 330mm kit for the 406 calipers that uses adaptors and custom bells to achieve compatibility with almost every 17" wheel or bigger. ________________________________________ Rich |

Hi guys. Only one question before I'll order my g88, what disc type are better for the brembos, xantia 288 discs or 206gti180 discs? I'll think about the offset of disc inside the caliper what disc are good centered.Thankyou ________________________________________ 306cab 2.0 16v:Wossner 12:1 45mm Jenvey Piper 285H 6 Gearbox + Quaife LSD 406 Brembo D2 Suspension E-tech Strut Brace Emerald K6 Ecu |

Will they fit under cyclones with a spacer or not, is it just the Wilwoods which will? ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Only if you space them out enough. From memory they'd need to come out around 20mm and that creates issues with fouling the wheel arch. ________________________________________ Rich |

Ballsack  Had hoped to use those instead of Wilwoods which work out quite expensive. ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

Take the wheels off the Xsara. They'll fit directly with Ash's 310mm Renault Brembo kit too.Then flog the cyclones and find some standard VTS wheels off eBay for the Xsara. ________________________________________ Rich |

Yeah, I was hoping to keep the Cyclones for the road and buy some aftermarket 15" wheels that I could use for track as the tyres tend to be a lot cheaper in 195/50/15. Doesn't look like its going to happen though! ________________________________________ Bang'in 7 gram rocks!I have one gear, GO! |

hi guys, thought i may aswell ask my question on this thread rather than starting a new one is there a lighter disc that can be used on the brembo caliper as the xantia ones are very heavy (but don't want to compromise stopping power) cheers. it is for a 205 ________________________________________ 205 mi16405 Mi16x4 restoration project 406 v6 saloon track car project/daily driver 508 Hdi |

Not without going for the pricey (but very good) alloy bell ones that (Ash?) makes up. Extremely good, very light, but about £200 if I remember correctly. Someone will be along shortly to give you a more useful answer; I'm vague but up early  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
