boldy205 74 Posted October 6, 2006 just to confirm before i make the purchase, the 206 180 calipers +disks will bolt straight onto my 1.9 205? I have read the guide and as it says they think they are the same, just a yes from anyone who has done the conversion would be nice. thanks for your time. Matt.

pug_life 0 Posted October 6, 2006 they will but you need new longer front brake lines, i have stock 1.9 lines in and they stretch slightly on full lock, will fail an MOT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted October 6, 2006 oh thats poo as i have just put some braided lines on! did you use braided lines or std.? if yuo did go braided where did you get longer ones please? Matt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonzai 2 Posted October 6, 2006 you should get away with standard ones, but its best to check. you can get custom length ones made at rally design, mine are about "2 longer than standard and they cost £21 form memory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted October 7, 2006 Also just to confirm that 206GTi 180 brakes are all that special/rare; they're fitted to loads of run of the mill 307s too just incase the price is pumped up a bit as they from a "180". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_life 0 Posted October 7, 2006 yes full kit for under £200 unlike AB motorsports £475 price i've seen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted October 7, 2006 I followed that guide to the letter but bought some braided hoses which I had made up 25mm longer over standard. Should take you about 4 hours all in all, including the bleeding etc. Bear in mind if you haven't touched the rears for a while make sure you can release the bleed nipples prior to removing anything up front.
