What front calipers do the standard 306 GTi-6 have?

Just curious as someone is saying they have 4 pot brembos as standard.

No, they are just large 2 pot calipers, but they work very well!

My 306 Rallye (same setup) had the best standard brakes of any car I've owned though...

Agree with Rich here, they may not look anything special but they are fantastic standard fit brakes - hence why a lot of modded pugs run GTI-6 calipers. When I traded my 6 in for a Scoob, I was shocked by just how much better my 306 was than the MY99 4 pots on my scoob........

Yeah, first time I drove an Impreza I thought the brakes were f*cked!!!

Even on standard discs & pads it stopped fantastically, with loads of feel and the ABS was never intrusive...

my 2000 sx has gti brakes and are fantastic but they get so hot the oem discs warp, ive fitted ferrodo ds discs/ pads and hve been great but these offer less bite and fade quicker than the oem ones !!!.
