Our Top Recommended Big Brake Upgrade Kits For Your Peugeot 206
Ten kits make the Peugeot 206 page once you take Tarox and HiSpec on their own: five each. Look at them by wheel size, not by brand, and something useful falls out. Every step of the ladder has a kit from both makers sitting at it: 15 inch wheels get a HiSpec 285mm and a Tarox 284mm, 16 inch gets a HiSpec 300mm and a Tarox 305mm, and 17 inch has four kits between them. There is no engine split to trip over and no old-versus-new HiSpec listing to work through either, just one clean listing per disc size in each brand. Pick the wheel size, then pick the brand.
That said, two things on this page are worth knowing before you order. The Tarox 284mm Sport Compact, the smallest and in theory the entry kit, actually costs more than the 305mm Sport one size up: a single piece disc against a two piece one, and the pricing does not follow the size. And the 340mm Tarox is still titled “10pot” on our site, but Tarox’s own kit contents list an 8-piston B34GT/B360 caliper. We would rather tell you that upfront than have you order on the title. The full 206 range is on the site if you want to see everything on one page.
- 10 Tarox and HiSpec front kits cover the 206, at 15, 16 and 17 inch wheel sizes with both brands represented at every step
- No engine-specific Tarox listings and no duplicate old/new HiSpec SKUs on this vehicle: one listing per disc size, in both brands
- The Tarox 284mm Sport Compact costs more than the bigger 305mm Sport kit, a genuine backwards price, not a typo on our part
- The 340mm Tarox kit is titled "10pot" but runs an 8-piston B34GT/B360 caliper per Tarox's own spec sheet
Two brands, two ways of building a brake kit
Both companies machine their own calipers from billet aluminium and build each kit for the specific car. The difference comes down to two things: what is in the box, and where the work is done.
Tarox
Every 206 kit is built and boxed at the Tarox factory in northern Italy: billet alloy calipers CNC machined and hand assembled, discs heat treated, faced and balanced to 0.05mm. Corsa pads and vehicle-specific braided hoses go in at the factory, so what arrives is complete. All five 206 listings state ABS and ESP compatibility.
HiSpec Motorsport
The 206 kits combine a Billet 4 or Monster caliper, CNC machined from aerospace grade billet aluminium, with two piece discs and mounting hardware. Each listing's own kit contents include an EBC pad and Dot 5.1 fluid, and the Monster kits list braided hoses outright. Caliper finish is your choice of colour.
One external link worth bookmarking for Tarox: their wheel clearance template is the definitive check for spoke depth once you have the minimum diameter sorted.
The number that decides it: your wheel size
Nothing on the 206 page needs more than a 17 inch wheel, and the ladder below climbs in step with disc size: 15 inch, 16 inch, then 17 inch for everything from the 318mm Tarox up to the 335mm HiSpec Monster and the 340mm Tarox flagship. The HiSpec figures come straight from HiSpec’s own published wheel clearance statements. The Tarox figures were looked up individually on tarox.co.uk against the KM code in each SKU, never assumed from the disc size, because Tarox’s own data genuinely differs between cars at the same diameter.
| Kit | Disc | Smallest wheel |
|---|---|---|
| Tarox 284mm Sport Compact | 284 x 26mm | 15 inch |
| HiSpec 285mm Billet 4 | 285mm, 2P | 15 inch |
| HiSpec 300mm Billet 4 | 300mm, 2P | 16 inch |
| Tarox 305mm Sport | 305 x 26mm | 16 inch |
| Tarox 318mm Sport | 318 x 26mm | 17 inch |
| HiSpec 325mm Billet 4 | 325mm, 2P | 17 inch |
| Tarox 330mm Sport | 330 x 26mm | 17 inch |
| HiSpec 335mm Monster 4 | 335mm, 2P | 17 inch |
| HiSpec 335mm Monster 6 | 335mm, 2P | 17 inch |
| Tarox 340mm Super Sport | 340 x 26mm | 17 inch |
HiSpec 285mm Billet 4: the 15 inch starting point
If the 206 is on 15 inch wheels and staying there, this is the pick. The Billet 4 caliper is CNC machined from aerospace grade billet aluminium, super rigid with almost none of the flex older alloy calipers suffer from, and it clears a 15 inch wheel.
HiSpec’s own kit contents list an EBC Standard Road pad and Dot 5.1 fluid included with this kit, not priced as an extra, which is worth knowing if you have read the usual line about HiSpec kits arriving pad-less. Braided hoses are listed in the same kit contents but marked “(Optional)”, so check with us at order time if you want them fitted in the same delivery.
- £1,254.00 inc VAT
- Clears 15 inch wheels
- 285mm two piece disc, Billet 4 caliper
- EBC Standard Road pad and Dot 5.1 fluid included; braided hoses listed as optional
- Made to order in up to 28 working days in Dartford, five caliper colours
The 16 inch move: HiSpec Billet 4 or Tarox Sport
Move up to 16 inch wheels and the choice becomes a straight one between the two brands, not between sizes. HiSpec’s 300mm Billet 4 is the same caliper as the 285mm kit on a bigger, 300mm disc, EBC pad and fluid included the same way. Tarox’s 305mm Sport is a six piston caliper on a two piece disc balanced to 0.05mm, with Corsa pads and braided hoses pre-fitted in the box.
Garreth’s short version: the HiSpec is the cheaper way to the same wheel size, the Tarox is the kit that turns up ready to fit with nothing left to add. Both clear 16 inch. Which one suits depends on whether you want to spend the difference on the finished build or keep it in your pocket.
- HiSpec 300mm at £1,464.00 inc VAT; Tarox 305mm at £1,860.66 inc VAT
- Both clear 16 inch wheels
- HiSpec: EBC pad and fluid included, hoses optional; Tarox: pads and hoses pre-fitted
- HiSpec Billet 4 caliper; Tarox six piston caliper
- Both made to a specific 206 fitment, front axle only
Tarox 284mm Sport Compact: the flagged one
This is the smallest disc in the Tarox range for the 206, on a single piece cast disc, not the two piece floating discs used on the 305mm kit and up. It clears 15 inch wheels, comes with Corsa pads and braided hoses pre-fitted like every Tarox kit here, and the caliper is a 4 or 6 piston B280/B30 depending on spec.
We are flagging this one instead of quietly recommending it: at the time of writing it is priced above the bigger, better-built 305mm Sport kit one size up. That is a genuine backwards price on our system, not a typo in this guide. If you want the entry Tarox disc size specifically, this is still the correct kit. If price is the deciding factor, the 305mm gets you more disc for less money.
- £1,981.04 inc VAT, priced above the bigger 305mm Sport kit (flagged, not corrected here)
- Clears 15 inch wheels
- 284mm single piece cast disc, 4/6 piston B280/B30 caliper
- Corsa pads and braided hoses pre-fitted
- Check with us before ordering if budget is the reason you are looking at this size
HiSpec 335mm Monster 4 and Monster 6: the 17 inch track build
The Monster caliper carries a pad a third longer than the Billet 4, built for medium to heavy road cars or ones with serious power. Both the Monster 4 and Monster 6 sit on a 335mm two piece disc and both clear a 17 inch wheel. Their own kit contents list EBC Redstuff pads, Dot 5.1 fluid and braided hoses included outright, no “optional” caveat this time.
For a road car that sees track evenings Cameron’s default is the Monster 4: it stops hard and pads are easy to source. The Monster 6 has up to 63% more piston area for the same pad size, aimed at a car making real power or spending a lot of time on the brakes late into a corner. If you are not sure which suits your driving, a short call before ordering usually settles it.
- Monster 4 at £1,740.00 inc VAT; Monster 6 at £1,773.00 inc VAT
- Both clear 17 inch wheels
- 335mm two piece discs, curved vane rotors
- EBC Redstuff pads, Dot 5.1 fluid and braided hoses included, not optional
- Made to order in up to 28 working days; five caliper colours
Tarox 330mm and 340mm: the top of the range
The two biggest Tarox kits on the 206 page. The 330mm Sport runs a six piston caliper on a two piece disc balanced to 0.05mm, pads and hoses fitted as standard. The 340mm sits above it and is listed on our site as a “10pot” kit, but Tarox’s own spec sheet for this kit names an 8-piston B34GT/B360 caliper with sequential piston sizing for even pad contact. We would rather correct that in the copy than let the title stand unchallenged.
Both clear a 17 inch wheel, the same as every other 17 inch kit on this page, so moving to the flagship does not mean moving to bigger wheels. For a 206 seeing serious track time or carrying more power than standard, the 340mm is the kit Garreth would spec. For most fast road cars the 330mm does the job for several hundred pounds less.
- 330mm at £2,280.00 inc VAT; 340mm at £2,670.00 inc VAT
- Both clear 17 inch wheels
- 330mm: six piston caliper; 340mm: 8-piston B34GT/B360 caliper, titled "10pot" on our site in error
- Both include Corsa pads and braided hoses, pre-fitted
- Disc styles and caliper colours selectable on both listings
More options at 17 inches
Two more kits sit in the 17 inch bracket between the entries above. The HiSpec 325mm Billet 4 is the same caliper as the 285mm and 300mm kits on the biggest disc HiSpec offer within the Billet 4 line for this car. The Tarox 318mm Sport is the middle Tarox disc size, six piston caliper, pads and hoses fitted the same as the rest of the Tarox range. Both need the same 17 inch minimum as the Monster and flagship kits above.
What is actually in each box
The usual line on this series is that HiSpec price pads and hoses separately while Tarox include both. On the 206 that line only half holds. Every HiSpec kit here, Billet 4 and Monster alike, lists an EBC pad and brake fluid as part of the kit contents. Braided hoses are included outright on the Monster kits and listed as “(Optional)” on the Billet 4 kits, which we read as available, not guaranteed fitted, so ask us to confirm at order time.
| In the box | HiSpec | Tarox |
|---|---|---|
| Calipers | Billet 4 or Monster, billet aluminium | 4 to 8 piston, billet alloy, hand assembled in Italy |
| Discs | Two piece (single piece on some 15in listings) | Two piece floating, balanced to 0.05mm (single piece on the 284mm) |
| Brackets and hardware | Included | Included |
| Pads | EBC Standard Road or Redstuff, included per kit contents | Corsa pads, pre-fitted |
| Braided hoses | Included on Monster kits; listed optional on Billet 4 | Included |
| Caliper finish | Black, red, blue, gold or silver | Black, red, blue, green or gold anodised |
| Built in | Dartford, UK, up to 28 working days | Northern Italy |

Common questions
Why does the smaller Tarox kit cost more than the bigger one?
On the 206 page the 284mm Sport Compact is priced above the 305mm Sport, which sits one size up and uses a two piece disc, not the 284mm's single piece design. It is a genuine backwards price on our system, not a mistake in this guide. If you specifically want the compact 284mm disc there is no issue ordering it, but if budget is the deciding factor the 305mm gets you more kit for less money.
Is the 340mm Tarox kit really a 10 piston caliper?
No. The listing is titled "10pot" but Tarox's own kit contents for this kit list an 8-piston B34GT/B360 caliper with sequential piston sizing. We would always take the maker's own spec sheet over a title, and we have corrected it in the copy on this page. The title on the product listing itself is still being updated.
Do HiSpec kits on the 206 come with pads?
Yes, on every kit listed here. HiSpec's own kit contents for the 206 list an EBC Standard Road pad on the Billet 4 kits and an EBC Redstuff pad on the Monster kits, plus Dot 5.1 brake fluid. Braided hoses are included outright on the Monster kits and marked "(Optional)" in the kit contents for the Billet 4 kits, so confirm with us at order time if you want them in the same delivery.
Which wheel size do I need?
It depends which kit you want, not which car you have. The 285mm HiSpec and 284mm Tarox both clear 15 inch wheels, the 300mm HiSpec and 305mm Tarox both clear 16 inch, and everything from the 318mm Tarox up to the 335mm HiSpec Monster and the 340mm Tarox needs 17 inch. Diameter is only half the check: give Cameron your wheel make and model and he will confirm spoke clearance before anything is ordered.
Will these kits work with ABS and ESP?
Tarox state full ABS and ESP compatibility on every 206 listing. HiSpec's kits fit to the front hub and do not touch the ABS sensor or reluctor ring, so a standard 206 should be unaffected. If your car has had any non-standard ABS work done, tell us when you order and we will check with HiSpec before the kit goes to build.
What we would actually fit
On 15 inch wheels staying that way, the HiSpec 285mm Billet 4: pad and fluid already in the box, and the cheapest route onto this page. On 16 inch, it comes down to budget against a finished build: the HiSpec 300mm if you want to add your own pad choice later, the Tarox 305mm if you want it to turn up complete. Either clears the wheel size fine.
For a 206 doing proper track evenings on 17 inch, the HiSpec Monster 4 is Cameron’s usual fit, and the Monster 6 is there for anything making real power. If you want the biggest kit on the page and the correct spec, not the title on the box, that is the Tarox 340mm at 8 pistons, not 10, and the 330mm sits below it for several hundred pounds less.
Ring us on 0115 9893488 with your current wheel size and what the car does at weekends. The 284mm pricing question and the 340mm caliper count are both worth asking about directly, and checking spoke clearance on a specific wheel is Cameron’s side of the business. Most calls like this are done inside five minutes.
