    No. Pressure will be even throughout the system irrespective of any expansion of a hose or hoses. Such a failure would be felt as spongy brakes & excessive pedal travel, as it delays pressure buildup in the system as a whole. Such a problem would not be intermittent.

      I know a guy with a 207 THP and 406 V6 Brembos, so it fits
      Picture to proof it:

        • Strange, the picture is working on my PC but not for you and not on my cell phone :rolleyes:
          Anyway, two examples of a 207 with the 406 V6 Brembo Calipers

              Can you send us a pic of how they mounted, what size discs are you using?

              • Anyone heard of, or used "PB Brakes"? http://pbbrakes.com/reviews
                They have a few options for uprated brake kits at quite low costs compared to other companies.
                £900 for front 6 pot calipers at 330x32 mm discs

                • Other than they are made in Taiwan do not know anything else about them.

                  • Can anybody confirm disc size with the 406 brembos and if these fit under the THP 17" alloys?
                    Am I right in thinking the 406 disc is 305mm whereas std THP is 283mm??
                    Cheers

                    • You'll need to use the standard size disc with these calipers.
                      Upgrading mine to tarox big brakes so I'm selling mine if anyone is interested.

                      • You'll need at least 15mm wheel spacers using the Bellone alloys

                        • ooh sexy!
                          I take it the old caliper bracket gets removed and the brembos just attach using the existing bolts?

                          • The calipers just bolt straight on. You'll need to modify or change your flexi brake hoses also.

                              • Haha if I hadn't just blown my money on seats I'd probably snap those up. I'm sure you won't have to wait long to sell them
