    xsaras will be same offset as the saxo i would of thought, they both use the saxo mk2 vts wheels, xsara vtr has them, the brakes are same as the gti 6 in every way i thought so surely the brakes will be the same

    first of all need calipers carriers pads and discs, the caliper may need grinding to stop it hitting the strut, easy to do, then just fit them as per usual brakes

    which are for upgrade 306 gti6 or the 180s

    306 gti 6 and 206 gti 180 are the same size setup (283mm)

    306 gti calipers are becoming old and high mileage plus they are becoming hard to find in good condition etc

    206 gti 180 calipers are easier to find and will mostly have covered less miles and in better condition compared to the 306 gti calipers!

    206 gti 180 and 306 gti use the same discs and have same offset!

    Hope tht clears things up lol
