   Yes they're loads better, they're not too difficult to fit, you just need new discs, pads and the calipers. And bolts IIRC.

   so to summarise, 206 gti brakes (266mm) are a straight fit using your saxo hoses.
   they are easy to change if you can bleed brakes (thats probably the trickiest part).
   you need discs, calipers, carriers and pads.
   they are A LOT better than your current set up.
   and they might cost £80-100ish, how long is a piece of string really.
   zaine is selling some decent ones in the for sale section.
