Breaking 306 GTi6

[ST12AT]

My friend cracked his sump and its proved fatal so he is breaking an R reg Black GTi6.

I'm having the wheels but I'd like to know will the callipers and discs etc fit my van?

Also, is there anything else I can use on the van? (Springs, Steering wheel, seats etc?)

Thanks.

Alex.

Pretty sure the brakes and front suspension would fit mate. I'm running 306 xsi brakes and they bolted on with no issues, Struts and springs should fit too as 306 coilovers fitted OK on mine.. They only problem will be GTi6 brakes don't fit under 14" wheels.

Thanks for the reply mate. Good to know about the brakes not fitting under 14" wheels (my steelies are 14").

If I get it cheap enough I'll give the suspension a go. I guess the fronts would be a "straight" swap, what about the rears?

Think the rear beams different mate, I know 306 rear shocks wouldnt fit mine!

[ST12AT]

So fronts only....

Would that make the van look/handle awful?

[PeteA]

Mine handles OK with just a lowered beam on the back with the standard shocks Think the beam is based on a 206 one but someone on here will know for sure!

405 isn't it?

[PeteA]

Could be right TBH, Come to think of it I dont think the 206 was about in '96 when the Berlingo first came out.

[ST12AT]

How did you lower the beam then?

[PeteA]

Gave it to a man :lol: TBH everything underneath my van is/was seized solid so I paid a french car specialist I know to do it for me. He charged £200 to fit the coilovers and adjust the beam

Just noticed you sig too, Nice fleet! Mk1 or Mk2 RS?
