Hi all just looking for a bit of advise i have a T reg 306 rallye with cyclone wheels looking to convert the brakes i can pick up a set of calipers and carriers from my local breaker for £50 which i though wasn't bad.The 406 is a 1997 3ltr v6 Was just wondering if they will fit straight onto my 306 and what size of discs i will need Thanks |

More importantly, it ruins the steering geometry and you'll probably substitute calliper clearance issues for tyre clearance issues. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
