Bigger brakes

    As above,

    Just cooked my 306 HDi Engine, and so breaking the car.

    Replaced it with a VTR and the brakes are absolutely Awful.

    I've got new Drilled and Grooved discs on the HDi So was thinking of swapping those over with the Braided lines, but basically wanna know...

    Will the front calipers and discs and so on fit straight on?
    The 306 is sat on 14's at the moment and they just fit, so this should be the case on the VTR, No problem at all.

    Same goes for the rears - Do the rear calipers and discs fit?

    I don't suppose the axle fits? I'm not convinced the Axles much Cop on the VTR, so this'll probably need doing too!

    Cheers
    David

    Fronts are 266mm and are probs the most common brake upgrade for the
    Straight fit and your right they fit under 14s. Also, no upgrade to the master cylinder is required

    Rears i doubt theyll fit, but not the end f the world anyway

    Mine seem oddly Long, surely the fronts with the calipers will fit straight onto the solid lines?
