yep 288 unless its been changed, which is doubtful. a common upgrade is to 312 from the ani/tt/s3 just requires new discs carriers same pads can be used (but new pads with discs are reccomended)
Hi I am also looking to replace Brake discs, on a Gold Mk4 1.8 GTI 20v (T reg) but just changing the rear for now Looking at options available on websites such as http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/jkmdisk-vw.htm There does not seem to be any 288mm disc option for the rear, just for the front, am I correct in thinking that I should fit solid 232's? I have looked a GSF also, but not really sure what I am looking at. Can anyone help? I may also need to fit Calipers on the rear, does anyone have any recomendations?
Not 100% sure I do, the mechanic said that the rear brakes are seizing, and apart from the corroded discs he suspects corrosion on the caliper? Don't know how liekly this is, or how common it is
i tell me about it i just changed the rear calipers disks and pads on my 4motion at least the gti only has 232 rears makes the calipers bit cheaper
Where did you get your discs & Calipers from - I just wanna make sure I not getting completely the wrong thing. Come across these to so far - any thoughts? http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3924162 http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=15318158
both them would do but i would just get plain disks on the rear and save the cash for the fronts unless you have cash to burn
nah, quite limited at the moment, so will go with the ones on the jkm link I done above a few posts ago I reckon. But they still have some grooves. Have you got any suggested brannds, sites or links for a plain one?
Looking on this site - http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/index.php The have some discs for my motor at 10.77 before VAT, can I rely on that?
Better off calling your local GSF or Euro Car parts and finding out how much they are there, and how much recon rears calipers are. No point ordering std discs over the internet IMO, postage will kill it.
