Nothing unique about that caliper. It's an off the shelf Brembo item with Ferrari sprayed onto it.

Besides, this info from the Alfa boys says the GT caliper used on the 406 is better anyway (larger pistons and the same pad shape).

I have some Alcon brakes from a 206 cup. is someone who has used such on 306?
must find the right brake disk,
so was wondering if there was one here who knows it, or whether it is possible

Are they Lug Mounted and bolt directly to the 306 hub? I suspect you will need to find the adapter or get one made and then use the exact size, thickness and offset disc/rotor as the206 cup. What size is that?

Talking about 4 Pot's
I have seen a set of Silver Brembro's from a fiat 20valve turbo forsale on eBay, would I be right in thinking that with a set of 288 xantia disks they will fit under 15inch cyclones? But I might have squel issues?

I dunno , I guess the space between the caliper and hub could be different.
I've lost the info on the c2r2 now... used to have it bookmarked bit I suppose even that could be spaced differently

Just something worth noting, the setup I just bought has 406 brembo's and 285mm 206gti180 discs. They look to be standard discs as not drilled or grooved or anything and they hardly seem to squeal at all only under very light braking from one side.
However personally I think they should not be used with the brembo's as their thickness is only 26mm which is the min thickness for the standard 305mm discs. Therefore once the 26mm discs get warn you run the risk of popping a piston out of the caliper :/. Will be getting (288x28) discs in a week or so when I get paid.

I can't see that TBH,pretty sure they would not have made the pistons that easy to pop outThumbs up

I meant once the 26mm discs wear down as well as the pads. Seen it a few times on cars with very lipped front discs and warn pads where the piston has leaked fluid everywhere as the piston has moved out past it's seal as the brakes are so warn. This is the point in a min disc thickness from the manufacturer as well as disc strength obviously.The 26mm ones on mine are nearly new so not a problem for now but going 28 soon.

Strength is the reason for min disc thickness recomendationsThumbs up

I've seen cars where the whole friction part of pads has gone and the pistons are still nowhere near popping outDunno

Actually thinking back, this happened because I was too lazy to adjust the rear brakes, the gap between the show and drum was so big that it popped the piston out the cylinder
