How much do the wilwood calipers and rally design brackets to use standard gti discs normally sell for second hand, did a search but most of the ads don't have prices anymore!!

Not many people tend to use them for standard discs they are usually 280mm i think.
They would be worth more that the other setup surely.

That was my thinking just not sure how much they are worth?? Seen second hand sets up for £400 but not sure if they are the same caliper or disc setup.

Edit: £400 for new calipers so I would say £350 ish for a second hand setup??

Does that set up include brackets and discs or just the calipers.

If it was just the calipers I would probably find myself stretching to the extra £50 notes just for a new pair?

Discs are standard gti6 items but yes £350 would include pads and adaptor brackets!

In my eyes its a more attractive setup than a 406 v6 so would expect to pay about 400 quid used with the adapters.
As i'd say the adapters are the rare bit.

theres plenty of other calipers about though, i assume the dimma will have the massive 17 or 18 inch dimma wheels?
in that light maybe the megane 330mm kit is ideal?

Don't forget with willwoods you also need to factor in that standard BRAKELINES won't fit

Willwoods are a big temptation for me, I'm not a fan of big wheels so would like to ditch my 17"s and 310 brembo kit and wouldn't mind going for willwoods. Supposedly very good stopping power aswell Thumbs up

I really don't know why people slag 17" wheels off, iv tried 15,16 and 17 and have preferred 17s all day long, I know I run big brakes on all my cars but I really can't see the problem with fitting 17s to 306's!

The difference between a 205 45 16 and 205 40 17 is 0.85% (5mm) difference in overall diameter, goes it really make that much difference to acceleration?
