Hi, recently purchased a set of brembo's to fit my saxo and just wondering as they are 4 pots if the master cylinder needs upgrading, thanks

Ive been told you need a larger master cylinder. Some pople dont use one but i'd deffo get a bigger one. forgot what you get it off maybe the 406 itself?

Need to fit mine but cant get the wheels on

Where there 4pots which are smaller diamiter than your oem single slider, in some cases you dont need a larger MC.

I have no experiance with saxo bbk's and am talking about different cars but brakes are brakes at the end of the day. Even in cases when it does affect it all it affect its the brake bitting point etc, some people just live with it.

Depends on what ones you have.

I think andyrew_69 means he's going to fit the 4 pot Brembo calipers from a Peugeot 406 V6 and he likes to know if he needs to upgrade the master cylinder...

I'd like to know it too...

You dont have to but its best if you do imo, my wilwoods run fine with the standard master cylinder but would benefit from a 23mm one from the 406

You should also fit new hoses as the standerd ones are too short and dont have a banjo fitting on the end.
I can supply the correct hoses in braided stainless steel
