    205 gti brakes/calipers same as williams?

    I've read the parts that are interchangable list, and it seems 205 gti brakes are the same as 16v/Williams. Does this include the front? If so, is it 1.6 or 1.9? If the calipers are the same as 1.9's, this must mean i can fit gti-6 calipers straight on as a nice upgrade?

    Cheer,s Chris.

    I had a search, but couldnt find anything. Was just curious as i need brakes soon, and thought it would be ideal to upgrade.

    Well the Saxo / C2 S1600 Alcons fit direct as i have them for the clio rally car. So im sure PSA / Citron stuff is common too.

    Rear calipers swap over, my mate had a problem with his 205 rear brakes and we looked at the calipers, clio one fits, the actual front caliper i believe is the same on the 1.9 gti as a clio 16v item, but its the carrier bolts that may be spaced differently. my mate put 306s16 brakes on his 205 and i believe hes got the old calipers floating around might measure them up

    Well ive just got some greenstuff pads for a 1.9 gti that will fit. My friend is lending me a gti-6 caliper and carrier, going to see if these fit. if they do, that would be a nice upgrade!
