It should be 6mm, give or take.Brembo's standard discs for the '6 are 6.2mm on the front and 6.3mm on the rear. http://bremboaftermarket.com/en/Car_Disc_Catalogue/Catalogue_Search.aspx ________________________________________ Rich |

Andy, the big brake kits usually come with an 8mm thick bell, thus making the front track 4mm wider (2mm each side).  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I've not measured them yet I was more wondering if my others was different. Would I now benefit from my rear spacers been wider to suit the extra 4mm at the front? ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

When I fitted mine I had my front spacers turned down by 2mm on a lathe so the track was unaffected. I have had no issues at all by doing this.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

So if I wasn't to turn my front spacers down by 2mm each and left them. What effects would having a 4mm wider track at the front have handling wise eg.
