   youv'e gotta be careful some 15's fit over 283mm brake set ups and some dont, it all depends on the shape of the spokes and where the wheels weights are located

   wouldn't have a clue, is there a reason why you want 406 ones? i assume they will work as the 4 pot brembos off the 406 v6 coupe fit on

   well a very popular mod is the 406 brembo set up which bolts straight on, no modification, my house mate has them on his 106

    Is the offset of 406 rotors any problem? Are they the same offset has the brembo's?

    well, on the brembo set up you dont use the 406 discs becasue they are too big for the saxo strut so people use the 283mm brakes from a 206 gti180, xantia v6, or the 405 mi16 but the 206 gti180 discs squeal with the brembo set up because i think the offset is slightly wrong but doesn't affect the braking
    
    i dont think you'll have any problems with your set up at all

    im guessing so but ive never done it, if you buy the calipers off your mate im guessing he'll throw in the discs so try it and find out if they dont fit get some other 283mm discs
