seeing as the only option for brembos not to squeal is tarox G88, but do they have to be 288mm?im assuming the 283's will be ok, can anyone put me right here?

As above.Otherwise the calipers/ pads will overhang. Not even worth considering tbh ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Well maybe they won 't overhang .... but either way no.Just no. I wouldn't dick about with stuff like that. Just use the discs that are the right size ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

283x26 discs from a 206/207/307 are a direct fit and work fine with 406 Brembos. That's what everyone ran years ago before someone discovered the Xantia discs fitted. (The standard GTi-6 discs are a no-go though... wrong offset and too thin.) eliotrw wrote: I wouldn't dick about with stuff like that. Just use the discs that are the right size I wouldn't exactly say that the Xantia discs are the 'right' size for the 406 Brembos. There's a large unswept area at the bottom, and an upswept lip at the top too as can be seen in Owain's photos here: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=141439 ________________________________________ Rich |

Oh rly. In that case I'm a cock.I thought that you needed 288s for the extra pad area or something. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

The pads will overhang the discs very slightly (less than 1mm) when running 283s, but it's nothing to worry about.The Xantia discs are the best compromise from a fitment perspective, but if you can get the 283s cheaply or have a set lying around then there's no point in not using them. Whether the extra 2mm thickness and ~0.75mm extra pad contact area the Xantia disc will give are worth the trade-off in extra weight is an entirely different debate though... ________________________________________ Rich |

the pads won't wear evenly, hence there will be a lip. They will start to break up, i saw an exampleof this very recently |
