   Hi, i have read alot on here about upgrading the brakes on a saxo to 306 HDi/XSi/GTi6 etc. However have a question about the brakes from a 406 HDi.
   
   I will soon be braking a 406 HDi Estate w ABS, on a X plate, i see the brakes are 283mm which i think would be ideal to upgrade my VTS to, considering the whole setups free except getting the calipers reconned. I won't even need to get new discs and pads as i already have new ones from when i was going to put it back on the road. However a more suitable car has come up.
   
   So...
   
   Will the front brake setup from a 406 HDi fit onto a Saxo VTS, with std 15" alloys??? I cant seem to find the answer on here by searcing. HAs anyone tried it.
   
   Regards

   they're probably the same as the gti-6/206 gti180 283 brakes i would imagine, and these fit under 15" wheels
