207 Gti Brakes

Recommended Posts

blindreaper242

I've searched and can't find the answers to these questions:

 

1. Will 207 Gti brakes (305 mm discs) fit on a 205?

2. Will front brakes fit on the rear if you use a completely hydraulic system?

 

Cheers.

Not sure about the fronts as OE fitment (Gti6/307hdi etc) 283mm's are close tbh

 

Using fronts on the back? Yes, not sure why you'd want to, and depending on exactly what you're talking about though, but some people one here have put adapted std 1.6 gti fronts on the back.

how would the handbrake work then?

 

i'm sure you can remove the pad carrier from 1.6 gti front calipers and put them onto rear calipers so you can have vented discs on the rear. Rab Elliot did this to his gti6 track car iirc

My first question would be why would you want to fit brakes that big in the first place??
