I was in Peugeot today and couldn't help but notice the size of the brakes on the RCZ R.They don't look that big in the pic but that's because the wheels are 19", looked it up and the discs are 380mm which is nearly the same size as a cyclone  , when you see them for real they look huge. ________________________________________ '90 1.6 205 GTi, '98 306 GTi-6 |

Just been looking at the R on youtube, its quite highly rated and it seems that Peugeot sport seem to have put a great deal of thought into it too. Would love one myself but meh, I don't have 30k to spare ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

Alcon brakes by the look of them. We are dealers so I can find out the price. Discs are a bit more than I'd expect, they might be less if you can just buy the friction rings like most alcons________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

when you have 270 bhp + 247 lbft and 1355 kg to slow down, and 19" wheels to hid them behind, they look fine to me :pTop Gear article says they are Alcon. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
