mattmalden 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Hi, I'm going to upgrade my 1.9 gti to use 306 gti calipers, disks and pads. I've also found some 306gti6 hubs (supposedly lighter - but not from what I've read here, opinion on the forum says they are the same!?) and bottom arms/ball joints. The caliper swap sound simple enough - may have to grind the caliper a bit, but should I go for hubs/bottom arms too? Do they fit easily? Are there any benefits? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,526 Posted January 24, 2010 306 wishbones will not bolt on to a 205- so that is one to dismiss unless you are into lots of fabrication to make them fit. The 306 hubs can be lighter if they are the hollow type, however I've found that the geometry is slightly different, so they give more positive camber than the standard 205 hubs- not a good thing. So I wouldn't do this either. Having said that, the 306 GTI brakes are an easy bolt on fitment to 205 1900 hubs. Just make sure that your wheel balancing weights are not stick on ones on the inside of the rim- as these will most likely catch the calipers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattmalden 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks Tom, Confirming what I'd read - always pays to check, I couldn't find all that detail in one post so its good for me to have that all together. Can't wait to get those 306 brakes fitted!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
