you can get a kit to run bigger discs on the rear. puglover had them but personally i think it's overkill________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

What's the point in upgrading when a pair of standard rears is more than capable of locking them up  There's practically no weight on the back of these cars once they've been stripped, you can pretty much lift the back off the floor with two people. = no reason for a rear brake upgrade. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

if you got stiff springs up front would this not help to counter the dive resistance under breaking. |

All I do know is that Ash (who makes the 330mm kits) races his high boost in the tin-tops, and he runs standard rears as he's never had any need to change them. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Maxi's used 2 pot ap's as they needed a good handbrake, they also used left foot braking to alter the balance of the car and stick it sideways into corners, I doubt very much you have the talent to do this.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Dont think so, the pistons need to be a screw motion for a mechanical mechanisum to work. IIRCA hydralic handbrake isnt road legal- f**k knows why. |
