Should allow both 266 and 283mm discs to be used depending on what calipers are used as both were fitted to the c5 from the factory using the same bracket.
Although I am thinking piston size could be too large?

Just a thought. As the c5s run the handbrake on the front calipers would it be possible to use these to upgrade the rears on the 306? Obviously a bracket would need fabricating to mount the caliper and some modification may be needed for the handbrake.Should allow both 266 and 283mm discs to be used depending on what calipers are used as both were fitted to the c5 from the factory using the same bracket.

It's probably possible but really is overkill. Money could be spent in better areas i think ________________________________________ Just Drive It |
