    what do i need to fit 406 brembos to my saxo, i just bought some cheap and wondering what id need to fit them. i have vts wheels and might be looking into getting some 16" wheels if the 15s are too small.
    iv heard lots about different discs, master cylinders and spacers
    any help would be much appreciated.

    wel all you need is longer brake line which you buy off a guy on here not sure what his na me is but they are around 25 pound for two. you can get away with the same MC you already have but some put in a 23mm MC but i know this is not nessary.

    They will fit some but not all 15” wheels. There are a few fitting guides on here for them but basically you need the Brembos, pads for them, brake pipe, disc, brake fluid, wheels to clear and a basic tool kit. Always easyer to do the bleeding with two people. As NFS said if you have only got a small MC in your Saxo the larger ones will give a firmer peddle so worth getting.

    283mm discs you can get them off the quicker Xantia. Brake lines are DIY jobs. Or there was a chop on this forum selling them too.
