porsche brakes on a mk4
« on: 08 April 2011, 20:43 »
As above what Porsche model do I need to salvage brakes from and what is needed to convert them to fit on a mk4 golf. I know Dave off ukmivs is the bracket man but does he refurb them ? Thanks

I believe Porsche 966 brakes will work on the mk4.

i had the boxster s rears on my there were absolutely shyte pistons dont match the master cylinder there too small and too much fade

the LCR and the boxster S Fronts are the same pistons and are more suited to the mk4 master cylinder, you get a oem pedal feel and no fade unlike the boxster s rears.

am running a 365mm disc with the LCR brakes ferroodo pads and the stopping power is basically a toe curl.
