according to this page >> http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/vw%20golfmk3/brakes.html


all 8v GTIs have 280mm discs


before 95? 16v and vr6's have 280mm discs
after 95 16v and vr6's have 288mm discs

rear 16v and vr6 discs are 226mm







i always thought  the '6 had 288's from the outset.. not sure about a valver

I don't think all 8VGTis have the same size discs/pads.  When I replaced my 8v's front pads I had to go back twice before they gave me the right ones, and I read somewhere later that late 96 onwards had uprated brakes.  I think they are the VR6 ones.
