Most factors should be able to get them for you but check the piston diameter.... I'm sure the 6 rear callipers have a slightly bigger piston than lower spec models but I'm not 100%.

When mine needed changing a few years ago I got some used 206 gti180 ones from eBay which I believe are the same spec but have a slightly different types handbrake lever. Still fit fine though.

Yep, there are 30mm and 32mm pistons.

I thought all 306 phase 3 rear calipers were 32mm?

I think the 30mm calipers are in saxo, clio and the like.

Yes I am aware you can fit 205 front brakes to the rear but you then lose your handbrake and therefore fail your MOT
