Fitting Brakes From A 306 Xsi?

[ashley peddle 3]

im looking to upgrade to some 306 xsi calipers at the weekend. Anthony (the person im buying them off ) thinks that its a straight swap but isnt 100% sure.

 

the 306 was 1995 with abs to take 266mm discs if that helps

 

any ideas?

Should be a straight swap onto 1.9 or base model hubs.

ohh yeah sorry - i have a 1.9 gti not a 1.6 if that makes a difference

Should be a straight swap, the fit the base model hubs on a straight swap basis according to this archive topic.

sorry i know im being really dim here but what are base model hubs? do you mean like 205 'style' and 'xs' and 'junior' type cars?

[pug_ham 244 3 Cars]

Yes, base models are all that aren't GTi, including diesels.

having looked at the brake setup on my xsi and then looking at the gti and having worked on both of them i am pretty damn sure that they are identical and should be straight swaps

No need to change the hubs if you're got a 1.9....

what meet is this? do you mean the hatfield (herts) meet or is there another?

[ashley peddle 3]

Woo - have just ordered the disks - went for brembo's...

 

can anyone suggest a decent make of pad for these? (preferably one that i can buy in the shops?)

 

Halfords do Ferrado (so?) pads - are they any good?

Ferodo do great pads, but they'll all be fairly similar if your going for OE spec.

Yeah i have them on my 306 and i have to say im well impressed... (and thats on a 1.3 tonne derv estate so im hoping that on my 205 which weighs almost half as much i should notice a good difference )
