Right last nite i nearly went up the arse of somone cos of break fade.
What im thinking is putting the 406 V6 breaks on the front on mine to replace the small ones. Any one know how easy this is to do?

You beat me to it :)
The 406 Coupe has Brembo 6 pots all round. Find them and fit them.

Oh, and if brake fade is causing you to nearly hit people - you're too close, breaking to late, or charging up behind people WAY too fast - i also suggest a course of advanced driver training :)

I have been tought advanced :) IAM standard anyways.
Its a big problem with my car for some reason, i get brake fade very easy after a little bid of hard driving, i gave plenty of time, just wouldnt stop.

So why do you continue to drive like a tit? If you can't stop in time you are driving too fast and too close.

Just change the fronts then?
The V6 brakes should fit under fairly easy. You'll need the cylindar probably, the calipers, discs, pads, it should just be a straight swop...

To be fair, if we all had a fiver for all the times Doki said he was gonna do his brakes we'd all be loaded :)

This is of course a very good point which i may have overlooked....
If they are a different stud pattern you'd obviously be looking at quite a lot more work...

Are the V6's not 5 stud, compared to other models 4?

I dont think they are, all 406's are 4 stud.

Have you tried the basics first - change fluid, preferably to dot 5.1, and got some decent pads (M1144s are fecking good)? Have you tried bleeding the system? You may have some air in it. Are the discs in good nick? if they're getting thin they lose their ability to dissipate heat (bad!).

I take it by 6 pots, you actually mean 4 pots? ;) And i shouldnt think it has them at the rear either
