   306 xsi, citroen berlingo van, xantia (amongst others) are all 266mm disks and fit straight on a saxo. Also fit under vtr rims.
   
   206 Gti 180 and 306 Gti's have 283mm disks and will fit under 15" wheels

   I count roughly 8 threads on this page alone that contain that information.
   You wouldn't even have to search.

   The Callipers off a facelift(2000+) Xsara bolt right on, they are bigger yet fit inside a 15" rim. Other then that there isn't much more you can do - other then Braided steel hoses and sintered pads. The breaking characteristics on the Saxo(and most cars) are down to the master cylinder.
