I am looking at upgrading the brakes on my Mk2 & need some input as to what I might need....
Rears; I am going to fit new MK3 calipers with new discs & bearings... So no big issue there..
Fronts; I am looking at fitting Porsche/Brembo Monoblocks from a 996... I have fitted the fronts so my Audi S2 which is a common upgrade but I have a set of the rears lying around and I am looking at getting a bracket machined up from a friend of mine and we are then looking to sell this bracket as an upgrade option...
So what I need to know is what discs would I need to fit under the 15" BBS RA's I have that are the same hat size as the oem discs... I have read somewhere that you can get 304mm discs to fit...
Any info greatly appreciated...

304mm discs under 15" RAs? I have no experience with this, but I was told I'd be pushing it trying to put 288mm discs under 15"s
-
My entire rim is takenup by my 280 discs. Ive got 15 inchers! porb get 288's in though
-
280mm discs? are they G60 ones???
Got any pics?
What calipers are you using??
-
280mm came on G60. I'm planning on upgrading mine to 16v hubs with G60 (280mm) carriers, calipers, discs and pads. I think 280mm also came on some other cars, Corrado, and it wouldn't suprise me if they came on the Passat but I'm not sure
-
Oh there is still some room left but i dont rekon 305s would fit in, 10 mm either side ? i had to get brand new callipers as got stitched up from someone local. there g60 discs with early vr6 callipers.

There's not a lot of room in there....
Might have to go smaller to fit the Monoblock calipers...
