   Been looking on ebay for 206 gti brakes for my mk2 saxo and seen a couple of cars breaking, just wondering if the brakes where the same on all 206 gti's. Dont want to spend my money on the wrong stuff

   IIRC there are a variety of different calipers & disc thickness'.
   
   There is a sticky at the top of the page that explains it.

   Ask what age car they come from, peugeot had a habit of just chucking together a parts bin special, like the 306's some had great fuel pumps and some had shit ones etc etc. its usually related to time of manufacture you might even find the older ones were better.. do some digging

   if they come with pads then they are easily identifiable

   Newer brakes is always better in theory, but not that big an issue really

    Well i have a mate used to work for peugeot and still gets staff discount so should get new pads and disks at a reasonable price. Going to see how little he can get brand new complete set up for me
