Just a bit of advice needed please, i am getting my 205 back on the road as it has been stood for a while i am replacing all the brakes.
I have purchased new gti6 front brakes and now need new rears so my question is this, should i just get new standard 1.9 calipers or should i go for some gti6 rear calipers?
Iirc the 205 ones are 30mm Piston and the gti6 is has 32mm.
The car is around 200bhp and will be doing some track days so would i benefit from slightly better stopping power on the rear or would it make the back end step out more?Thanks guys.

larger calipers wont make it more skittish, less if anything as you need some rear braking effort to balance the car.
