You can use Megane 1.6 16V 280mm discs, calipers and hubs, but you will have to mod the holes on the strut to correct the camber.

You can use TXi hubs, discs and calipers, but that's a fairly rare car, so probably much harder to find.

PS: Can you explain in more detail why are you changing brakes. Is car uncontrollable or it's becuase of the price of pads etc.?

I want to change brakes because i can only run 17" wheels and 205/40-17 tires, i want better tires for track days and Track tires are so expensive in that size and hard to find used, and if run on 15" i can adjust the settings better than if i run on 17" + the weight on 17" compared with 15".

You cant use TXI hubs, my friend has 3 cars about 5km from me 8) , TXI hubs dont have any "arm" to fit the steering to, on TXI the steering rack is much higher and is connected to the shock absorber.
Anybody who knows were to get Brackets to use stadard calipers with TXI disk and dont pay 250£ to K-Tec ??

Make brackets by yourself (or just design them and have them made). Far cheaper and you know what you have.

Why don't you use Clio Sport discs? Either with Clio Sport calipers or Peugeot brembo's.

Txi discs have less offset so chance the calipers will hit the wheel sooner..
