Hi all,

I appreciate there are a lot of threads on this, as I have tried to wade through as many as posisble before asking questions. Could some one just quickly confirm the following:

1. Are the 406 v6 calipers a direct fit to the gti6 hub, or do they require brackets to be made up?
2. Do the 406 v6 discs fit, or is the '4-pot fitting kit' required?
3. What size discs are usually run on these? I will be using 17" alloys, so shouldnt have any issues with caliper clearance, but obviously, I assume mounting the caliper to the hub with no bracket will limit the max. disc diameter I can run.

I'm sure these questions have been asked before, I just can't seem to find, so any advice/help would be appreciated

Cheers

Ed

Niall, I know already thanks, I've been in discussions with the vendor you're thinking of and am fully aware they are Fiat Coupe ones. I'm now looking at potential alternatives which don't involve fabrication of custom brackets (and therefore further expense!)

Might sell my engine 'box & lightened fly soon to fund the next bits


Welshpug! Thanks mate I did do a search though! I spent most of yesterday trawling through threads about brembos, but plenty of people seem to be fitting ash's big brake kit for 310mm discs, so I got a bit confused!!

Are the xantia/c5 discs properly heavy? Are there any lighter alternatives without going for ash's kit?

@ Russbez, I know you are! I'm watching it, but I'm just about to go on holiday, so definitely can't afford it just yet! Need to see where I am after I get back on 3 July!

I will most certainly be in touch if I can afford them then though! just doing the research now, so if I can do it, i'll be on em straight away

Ed the brembo kit that you know of for sale weighs more than a small heard of elephants (do elephants come in heards?). I was genuinely shocked at how heavy they were.
If your selling your fly, let me know

No, not really, as you say the calliper is lighter but that is more than offset by THS incteased disc weight. However, if you can't scrub off enough speed on corner entry you will never make the turn in point anyway. Therefore I would get the Brembos and look to save weight on wheels and tyres.

should be ok on a 306 though as they do have an offset where the 406 has almost zero offset on the disc, always close though.

Just to resurrect an old thread a minute. If I'm buying the calipers from the v6 coupe, and the calipers only am I gonna need to buy fresh pads I take it? And to confirm these are definite direct fit? And finally will they actually make a difference on standard sized '6 discs as I'm not convinced the bigger discs and calipers will fit under my 15s?

You'll need minimum of 10-12mm spacers to fit under cyclones.
They are direct fitment using the the 288mm citroen xantia v6 discs. They WILL squeal like a pig unless you use the tarox g88 discs which are pretty expensive and a set of good pads will help. They would benifit from braided braided brake lines too. But... They do make a difference to maximum braking force. Although I found that driving around normally they feel a little vague until a good amount of presser is applied. Then they stop well. They run extremely wide and even my 17's are extremely close to them. I like them tbh though and for a budget brake set up you can't really go wrong.
