Brakes

Anyone got any 266/283mm brake calipers and discs? I need new pads anyway so figure i may as well get some bigger ones at the same time! 266 preferably for like £25.

i have 2 sets of 283mm £75 a set (discs pads and calipers)

What condition are the pads and discs in?

not sure there on the car at the moment, had them changed for mot 18 months ago and the car hasnt been used for 12 months so should be ok

283 bigger than the xsi brakes? what else would need changing?

discs,callipers,pads and if your really fussy the master cyclinder

ollie 283mm is the next step up for you i beleive

247- 1.4,1.6,1.8,1.9D,1.9DT
266 -XSI, HDI, old S16
283 -GTI, newer S16

If you put 283 in a car that used to have 247, you may need to change the MC to prevent excessive brake travel, but a lot of people don't bother, 247-266 and 266-283 there is no need to change the MC

247 Will let you put any wheels on the car from 14" up
266 Will let you put almost any wheels on the car but Harries(14") scrape on the calipers
283 Needs 15" alloys

Then you can go up to 330 brembo's off the 406 coupe, but you only really need them if you're going up to SC-6 Standards

as alex says

so i'd need 15"s to fit the gti6 brakes?

Im sure i have a set of 266mm calipers kicking about off the S16, £10(pair) u'll need discs and pads tho. i can price them up in work for u. do u want cheap or do u want good brakes?

brake engernering discs £22(pair)
Brembo discs £36 (pair)

ferodo econimy pads £20
ferodo premier £28.

Might be able to sort out some discount on them depending if u want a receipt or not.

yeah 15" minimum for gti6 283mm

another option alot of the gti6 lads go for is the xantia v6 disc (285mm iirc) with the 406 brembo calipers and you can fit cyclones with a 3mm spacer

Lol, just realised i'm already on 15" so could fit the 6 brakes

The 286mm calipers seem hard to come by unless u got money to burn. and the brembos are mega money.

yeah was wondering

i thought you had some weird idea of putting 14" wheels on at some stage

do you mean the 206 180/307 hdi 288mm?

283mm i ment. off the GTi-6

simon, you got two sets of these?

I have a set of 266mm Calipers from a 2000 plate 206 GTi. They have been cleaned and painted red and never been fitted.

The only problem, is that I am missing the Caliper yoke. So you would have to find replacement ones of these. Around £50-60 at Pug.

£20 for the calipers? Hoses are removed/new bleed nipples.

yep

1 set up is in the shed (somewhere) removed from a gti6 i broke a few years back the other set is on the rallye which will be removed when the car comes back to fit the 6 pots

And are they for sale? nice and cheap with club discount?

£70 a set

i'll take 1

I'm thinking about a set.
