Hi,
I know there's heaps of stuff in the search on this but after sifting through tones of it I couldn't quite get the answers I needed...
Will a 280mm Corrado VR6 caliper and carrier, pads and disc set up fit my big bumper 16v Golf GTI?
I know the discs are 5x100 so they wont fit, so I'll have to get hold of some 280mm 4x100 G60 discs
Also, will it fit under my BBS RA's?
Thanks!
-
Nope I believe the offset of the discs is all wrong.
You will need 15" wheels
-
Oh poo. So the 280mm VR6 Corrado calipers and carriers are different to the pre-96 Mk3 Golf VR6 calipers??
My BBS RA's are 15" - so they should be ok with a 280mm set up?
Thanks
-
The corrado discs will go straight on mate i duno if your wheels will take the size only one way to find out i suppose
-
With vr6 callipers they are easier to get hold of and basiclly the same as the g60
-
Will I need to drill new holes in the Corrado 5x100 discs to make them fit my 4x100 hubs?
So it sounds like everything from the Corrado VR6 will fit then (bar me having to drill new holes in the discs)
Great thanks!

not true. If you want to keep your RA's you'll have to use golf 16v callipers with 280 carriers and modify the slide pins
and use the 16v pads which are thinner
i've got the hybrid set up on mine - carriers came from a mk3 golf.
need to remove 3mm from slides - acess to a lathe is very helpful

once all modifed they fill the wheels and stop really well.

280's fit in my 15" bbs's ?
-
Is it the 288mm set up that need grinding back then?
Still confused! :)
I'm hoping it'll all just fit without needing any mods! (Apart from 4x100 holes).
Thanks
-
280's fit in my 15" bbs's ?
are they RA's?? (not big nuts)
I have original fit Ra's and there is only 2mm clearance to calliper.
-
You dont need to drill no holes the g60 are already 4x100
-

2mm clearance on a 280mm upgrade or standard 256mm?
-

They aren't G60 discs, they are 280mm VR6 5x100 Corrado disks.
Thanks
-
Where the hell did i read g60 then, my apolagies
-
No worries ;)
Still not really any the wiser.
Any more advise/experience really appreciated.

i converted my 256 to 280 but wanted to keep std wheels

Me too!
What's your set up then?
VR6 280mm calipers and carriers + G60 discs?
thanks
-
it was very confusing
you need 280mm carriers from a pre 95 car or hubs are drfferent.
280mm disks - i bought G60 ones from vwspares.co.uk
std 16v pads and used std callipers. You will need to modify the slide pins. The first set i used angle grinder
but then did another set in workshop at work when i got sizes right.
it's about 3mm you need to remove - easy with a lathe.
-
So why wont the 280mm calipers fit?
I'm sure I've read plenty of posts in the past saying they do fit.
Which part of the alloy do they hit?
-
The G60 and Mk3 have a wider calliper hence bigger pads
they will foul the back of wheel. It's due to offset of the std RA's
I can only tell you of my troubles
-
F*ck me you lot are making this complicated.
Take the whole hub assembly from a 280mm equipped 4X100 car and bolt it up.
Should be fine with OEM 15" rims.
Won't need any grinding or cutting back with a lathe.
Cars you should be looking for in the scrappers are TDI SEATs, Passat3s and other bigger VAG group stuff which is still running 4X100.
This kit just bolts up, no titting about making it fit.
You will need the 22mm master cylinder to keep the pedal travel right, if you're coming from 239mm set up.
-
Well despite the advice, I've got myself a 5x100 280mm set up (read your post Diamond Hell after buying it lol).
The kit comes from:
Corrado 1993 VR6
and includes:
Front 280mm calipers and carriers
hoses (braided)
5x100 stud 280mm discs
+ pads
I'm using 15" BBS RA's with 10mm spacers each side (hoping spacers might help if things are tight!)
I'll take a look when it arrives and post back with my findings.
Thanks everyone

You may just need the 4X100 hubs to get that to fit with 4X100 280mm rotors.
Potentially furking expensive way to find out though!
-
in may case.......
had 256mm already. Got some 280mm carriers from a mk3. Kept original callipers
but needed to mod slide pins to make them fit.
bought 280mm (4x100) discs and a new set of 16v pads
-

My hubs are standard 4x100 16v GTI hubs. I was planning on drilling 4x100 holes in the 5x100 Corrado 280mm disks to get them to fit :grin:

I don't think that will work as you have not got enough metal as such :undecided:

Agreed :shocked:

Why are you redrilling discs? Buy some 4x100 280mm discs and fit them to your 16v hubs. Over these fit your calipers. How did this get to 3 pages?
-
you lot should think outside the box a littel bit more
there is a 280mm 4x100 disk that is the correct offset to work with mk3 golf / corrado brake caliper and carriers, but it's not vw

As Danny said! This might help you http://bremboaftermarket.com/En/Car_Disc_Catalogue/Catalogue_Search.aspx (http://bremboaftermarket.com/En/Car_Disc_Catalogue/Catalogue_Search.aspx)

Just to give an update.
The Corrado V6 280mm carrier and calipers fitted straight on my Golf 16v hubs but do in fact foul the front/spokes of my 15" BBS RA's. Luckily my 10mm wheel spacers sorted that problem.
The Corrado 280mm discs do not fit though as the offset is out (just as many of you have suggested), so even if I drilled the 4x100 stud pattern it's a no go for the discs.
So I'm going to order a pair of G60 280mm 4x100 discs to go on shortly and I'm all 280'd up!
Thanks everyone

yup - that's why i used std calliper and modified the slide pins to allow the 16v calliper to fit 280mm carrier
glad you sorted now
