I'm sure one of the 306 experts will be along soon, but from memory yes they will but you'll need bigger discs to suit.

Yuo can run various discs with them, all squeel like anything tho, i run wilwoods which fit under cyclones or most other 15's but i run stud and nut instead of bolts now as need spacers to clear them, with brembos, you need 15" TD or OZ wheels really, best bet is to go to 16's or 17's and run a bigger disc aswell, few upgrade kits out there a guy on gti6 forum has designed a 330mm brembo kit.

out of intrest why are you wanting brembos for on a dturbo?? not just best sticking some gti6 callipers and fast road pads, even then it will be a bit over kill wont it.

if your not planning on going on track, gti brakes with good pads will be enough, as thats all i used to use on track, but upgraded to 4pots, if going down the supercharge route, try Rich at Lynx power engineering as there kit is by far the best design out there
