The standard rear is 232mm solid. You can upgrade to 256mm vented but you wont gain much in terms of braking.
312mm will be fine with you standard rear set up. :smiley:

Ok cheers But i need new calipers for the back because mine are in well bad condition wheres the cheapest place to get them

Audi brakes are 312mm don't know about rears but as everyone says it's only for show nothing to do with braking

It will help but the difference is not as significant as upgrading the fronts simply because the fronts do 70-80% of the braking

Justs to let you know (if you didn't already) the calapers are exactly the same along with the pads for the 312mm discs!Its the carriars that are diffarant. If you say your need new calipers any mk4 GTI 1.8t can be a good doner. Dosn't have to be TT, Anniversary, etc. The carriars some time come up on ebay but i coulden't find a link this time around to show you. This might save you a few quid mate :smiley:.

yeh cheers all i need is the standard golf rear calipers i think the carriers are fine and then i just want discs and pads for the back, i just think that vw will be so expensive and didnt no where else to go cheers for looking anyway though.
-
what about front, are audi tt disc and pads straight fit with mk4 calipers/carriers or do they need different set??
