   are the 206 gti 266 mm brakes a good upgrade or is it not worth it and just go for the 206 gti 180 or 306 gti 6 ones?
   
   cheers

   still good but if youve got 15" inch wheels just get the 283mm

   the 266mm disc's will fit under 14" wheels but the 283mm disc's wont. i have the 266mm set up and its mint, well worth it imo

   i've got 15" wheels, and was just wondering if they are worth getting or if it would be best to go for 283 mm.

   found some 266 mm ones on ebay, 23 mins and only £27 atm, worth going for them?

   the 266mm setup made a big difference to my braking so the 283mm would obviously be slightly better. one thing you have to think about is if you need to put the spare wheel on which is less than 15", as it would fit. or if you wanted to put 14" alloys on then they also wouldnt fit
