Postby frankman » 01 Feb 2017 17:43

Hi All

On my Internet research lol I found a nice oppertunity

If you are thinking on an Brake upgrade just check the Peugeot 406 Coupé 3.0L V6 24Valve Brake Calipers !
This are Brembo for 28mm Disc..

So here an Pic with measurements: By the way there was also a MovIt kit for this car for 32mm Disc (pic will follow the with rabbit :mrgreen: )

Brembo calipers have one very big disadvantage;
Spare parts are difficult to come by and overall rather expensive :roll:
