Title: Very retarded Q sorry!!
Post by: e11ie on 05 June 2009, 18:27: I've done my search button research on a mk2 brake upgrade and I know what I need...4stud hub 280 caliper and carrier etc etc
My question is...when I get to the scrappy and I find say a nice early mk3 golf....how do I tell if it has the golden 256+ hub?? (que laughter!!) Is it just the GTI, corrados etc basically sports model becasue dont some polos have it too?

All help much appreciated as you can tell :grin:

Post by: danny_p on 05 June 2009, 19:28: the 256mm and 280mm hubs have caliper carriers bolted to them.

you'll be looking for golf 2 16v's, 90's passats, corrados , seat cordobas ( 280mm )

Post by: Diamond Hell on 06 June 2009, 13:38: Golf3 is 5 stud and different hubs. Unless you're going to convert to 5-stud then you don't want a Golf3.

Danny's listed out the donors you need to check on.

Provided you have a GTI you only need front brakes to be upgraded.

Post by: e11ie on 06 June 2009, 17:24: I know about the mk3 golf being 5 stud dunna worry...just thought the early ones were 4.

And I've got my list of donor cars that have them on for when I go scrappy searching I just wanted to doubly make sure that when I thought I had found one that was the 256/280, I could check to make sure I actually had!

Cheers for your help
