i will shortly be taking these calipers off my 205 rallye as im going to be fitting 15" C5 steels and going bigger brakes. i had these fitted on 266mm discs with custom made brackets. i will just be selling the calipers, braided lines and will include the nearly worn out mintex 1155 pads.

the calipers themselves are about 2 years old but probably only covered 2k miles inc trackdays.

heres a pic of them when i purchased them, will get some more pics soon but you get the idea...




£250 delivered

Why would you pay 250 for these when you can get a 4 pot 406 setup with disks and pads for the same money ?? EXPLAIN !!

Because these are lighter and fit behind spokes better iirc.

And the 4 pots off a 406 squeak like a twat unless you spend loads on discs and pads and works out to be a bloody expensive brake set up for something not that brilliant!

1. Because the 406 setup isn't that good - not that good at braking and very heavy.
2. Once you factor in a disc and pad combo on the 406 calipers that don't squeal the price is bugger all difference.

What size are the calipers? Any idea what size disc they'll take?

Also because Hi-specs only come up every so often, every bas**rd and his nan has got a set of 406 Brembos in their shed.
