Brembo calipers are lighter, the xantia discs that are a direct fit to the hubs are chronically heavy though. The alternative, which allows you to run bigger diameter discs is ash's 310mm kit sold over on the 6forum at the equivalent price of your average house....
The best solution, particularly on a budget is good discs pads and fluid with std calipers.
/broken record
Thats what i was saying about the rotating weight being the more important one.
Ashs 310mm kit is only for the radial mount clio calipers not the 406 lug mount ones. I need to speak to him about mounting bells so I could use other discs.
Ive already bought brembos so theyer going on
Oh and sorry for editing your post mate but your spelling made it practically unreadable, I assume your pissed on on a phone with auto correct (or both)

Compbrake should be able to drill a set of bells for me.
You gonna get a bracket made up and look at bells & rotors or just look at other one-piece disc options? I'd eventually like to look into getting a bracket made up to fit Brembos and some 2-piece discs to fit under 15s but it's way, way, way down on the list for me!

You got a 6. And in the best colour!
Well done you... Think it will look sick with the gold 1.2's on. Nice to be a bit different eh?
Why not put rallye blanks on too, make it a bit lighter....
Rallye blanks are on my list of bits on order from pug.
Ive had a bit of a touch with pug today, my local dealer shut down, i wasnt gonna go to the next nearest one cos its in london and thats chaos right now so i went to slough and one of the parts guys I know works there. The bonus is instead of getting 10% off I now get 12%. Woop Woop!
