hello people
ok ive bought a 16v golf that started life as an 8v on a 91 plate (this i diddnt know when bought)
ive been slowly changing bits to make it a proper 16v (looms etc)today thought id look over the brakes, only had 3months or so :grin: thought they looked different to 16v in the yard that im robbing for bits ,so ive changed over to the bigger, i belive 256 brakes(well done one side for now do other side next weekend) i wont be driving her yet :grin: .having trawled through search facility. is it likely that il need to change master cyclinder to 22mm one, and is this a big job, plus am i right in thinking i dont have to touch back brakes as there standed on both 8 and 16v 90spec?thanks in advance .max

8v and 16v rears are the same
Yes, change the MC if it hasn't been done already, it will stop a sponge'y brake.

Change it if you can but I run 256 brakes on the standard 8v MC. It's perfectly fine IMO, stops lovely.
