   The gti 180 items wouldnt fit under the 14 inch vtr wheels.
   
   The other 206 gti, not the 180, has a slightly smaller brake set up using 266mm brake discs as apposed to the 283mm ones on the gti180 which will fit 14" wheels. The std saxo brakes are 243mm so you would still feel the benefit.
   
   For more info on brake options theres a huge thread stuck at the top of the brakes forum

   would the gti 180 brakes fit under the 15" vts alloys then?
   
   how much of an improvement would they make?

   the 180 setup will not fit under 14`s. they will fit under vts wheels but they may need spacers. they are the same calipers as the 306gt6 ones (283mm). apparantly they make allot of difference- try search as it has been covered before
