Hi , I've got 16v hubs with 256mm carriers will g60 callipers work or do I need 280 carriers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
although the pads have same footprint there is a difference in pad material thickness I recall on my 16v... i had 256mm callipers on 280mm carriers and i had to modifiy the slide pins i may have had wrong pins but where you stick the 15mm spanner had to be shortened by about 2mm its a nice mod and will fill the 15" wheels.....BTW. be carefull of offset on some 15" wheels
The hubs have a wider bolt centre two, where the caliper carrier bolts on, so go for the whole set-up Unless I'm mistaken Jon
if you use 256mm discs then the 280 calipers will fit 16v 256mm carriers no problem, just they are a bit wider to suit the thicker 280mm disc and pad combo. This can give you wheel clearance issues depending on what you plan to fit, I'm sure there will be plenty guys out there who will be happy to swap their 256mm carriers for your 280s
Thanks for the replys , mite just stay with 256 set up, it's only because my callipers are are shot, I understand mk3 256 callipers and carriers fit or 280mm ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
yeah some of the mk3s have the same 256mm vented brakes as the mk2 16v, but watch out some of them have solid 256mm discs which are no use as the calipers are not wide enough
