Title: vr6 calipers onto mk2 hub?
Post by: mk2addict on 23 October 2011, 23:48

I'm doin an abf conversion on my8v gti I want to upgrade the. Rakes as well but don't wanna spend all that money on the kits so wonderin if the vr6 calipers will mount and wether I'll be able to get the correct size disc to fit? I know I could go wide track but don't wanna have to get 5 stud wheels.

I am sure they will not fit do to offset issues  :undecided:

Also 8v hubs won't take discs bigger than 239mm iirc.

Do a search on G60 brakes or 280mm brakes, been covered loads before  :smiley:.

Ibiza GTI/cupra (upto 98/99 i think) brakes are a good place to start

yep wrong hubs on a 8v ...early vr6 calipers are the same as the g60 /280 conversions you see so yes you can use those , just need the carriers and right hubs then
