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). ________________________________________ Rich |

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'sI 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? ________________________________________ Xbox Live: DaicarvideoGuy, Forza 4 |

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 ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

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. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

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.________________________________________ Black power baby!
