Caliper is located in a different place to on the 406 I believe, so the pad would overhang the edge of the disc. Also pretty sure the offset is wrong.

Either way, you need V6 Xantia discs, and this is assuming you're talking about the 406 V6 Brembos?

if he;s asking about 283's they'd be the more common standard 406 brakes which wont fit.

the radius of the caliper mounting lugs is larger and the offset of the discs much lower, the only 406 brake that can be made to fit with off the shelf parts is the Brembo coupe calipers.
