What Discs With Gti6 Calipers?

[Supersport2 12 1 Cars]

I've heard it can be a guessing game as to which discs you choose. 206 180, gti6 or xsi discs? Is it true??

Use GTi-6 disks with GTi-6 calipers - direct fit to base model or 1.9 hubs. Simple.

I thought as much. The person I bought the calipers said on one rally car it had 180 discs with gti6 calipers, and it was a guessing game.

Cheers!

As long as they are actually 306 GTi-6 calipers, GTi-6 disks are what you need.

 

Where the issues stem from I suspect is where brakes are mis-advertised and certainly I've personally seen a few sets advertised as GTi-6 when they've actually been from something else, typically 307's.

ensure they are 57mm pistons and not 54mm pistons.

[Anthony 1,002]

ensure they are 57mm pistons and not 54mm pistons.

That certainly helps, but 406 calipers look similar to GTi-6 and also have 57mm pistons, so it's not a foolproof way to ID '6 brakes.

406 calipers have a knobble thing by the brake hose, 306 ones don't.

 

both are lucas, gti180/307 are bosch.

Glad I asked now. Thanks very much. I'll be taking them back!! Lol!

Why take them back? Just positively identify them and buy the correct discs.

 

The gti180 are bosch, and have a 54 cast on them.... As said above.

Pad choice is poorer and generally more expensive for the 206/307 options for one.

Possibly Anthony, but whether your cars for road or track there is plenty options available, and not toooooo much $ in it.

Once I checked them, they are bosch. I've been promised a refund, so I'll keep looking. Thank you.

How much were they?
