When converting to gti6 calipers onto a 205 gti can i use standard gti 6 discs whilst retaining my original 1.9 gti wheels.I would also like to use gti6 hubs I have been recommended ferodo 25000 pads but have been told that gti6 hubs will upset the camber has anyone had experience with the above or can advise or can do me a good dea on disks pads and braided hoses ? also what brake fluid would be best suited to my application

To avoid messing up the camber, make sure you use 1.9 gti hubs. The 306 283mm discs will fit fine, but just make sure any wheel weights fitted are on the very outer edge of the inner of the wheel otherwise the calliper will catch them and rip them off.

I wouldnt bother with Ferodo DS2500 pads, as the 6 brakes are almost overkill on the 205 anyway. Just go for standard pads, a set of braided hoses to improve the pedal feel and some normal DOT 4 fluid. If you're going to use it on track then you may wish to use 5.1 fluid just in case.

You will also need to use the 23mm master cylinder from a 406 otherwise your pedal will have too much travel.

Hope that helpsSmile

I had 1144 pads on mine and they were very sharp!

Your best to use extended hoses when fitting. Miles @ pugracing sells what you need Smile

Dont use the 306 hubs. Even with 309 lower arms I had positive camber. However you can have them machined and inserts made up to give neg camber.

I also found with these up front when I ditched the rear brake compensators it was all balanced nicely. Thats my opinion though Smile

Thank you for the advise ill do what you recommend but would the ferodo 2500 still be overkill if i had 230 bhp or would standard pads still be up to the job ill be using the car for extreme fast road use
cheers

It is up to you to find out but something like a 15mm spacer should see you right.
