What size were the MK4 Gti's front and rear discs?
Mines a 2000 W reg, ARZ engine code if thats any help.
I think the rear sizes are the same on all as far as i'm aware, but the front are different? 280mm or 288mm?
Cheers

I had my front and rears done at the same time with brand new discs and pads - so long ago i cant remember what the standard was like tbh :laugh:
They are razor sharp though :smiley: No im on standard brake lines :smiley:
Most only do the 312mm fronts as the rear doesn't do much of the braking :smiley:

+1
Had mine done in similar manner, uprated brake fluid, goodridge front and back lines, new mintex disc/pads. The increase is very nice, stopping is improved by a considerable amount and it bites alot harder!
