HDI To GTI 6 Brake Conversion
#8
Also the 406 Brembos would give a hard time finding wheels that fit. A friend of mine had Brembos on his rallye and they noticed the spacers during inspection. Spacers are illegal here (if not meant for that specific car+wheel combination and those spacers were universal. So it didn't pass and I had to find something. After a lot of testing I found out that my 16" OZ Superturismos cleared the brembos after I grinded veeery minimal from the corner of the caliper. So I sold those wheels to him

Also like stated here, the Xantia V6 disc is only 288mm comparing to GTI-6 283mm. Also the caliper comes out so much comparing to the hub and disc so it causes problems. And the brake force the rallye achieved in inspection on the front brakes didn't differ at all from my S16 which has GTI-6 calipers and a 23.8mm master cylinder. So the 406 Brembos are a no-brainer in my opinion.. They look cool but aren't worth the hassle.
