Minor issue....about to order brakes and its given me 2 options for both rear and front....I have never changed them and dont know if I should go for 288 or 312? What came with the car orginally? I cannot afford to start changing things...
And a rough quote to change pads and discs for 1.9 52 reg 130?
Plus what brand? am on eurocarparts and got loads? eicher?
-
312mm won't fit the gti as standard unless u have a anniversary model .
-
so you're buying new pads and disc? a 130 will have 288 as standard
you need to order carriers to run 312

Great cheers! 288 are cheaper :)
Looking at 164 for the lot? That right 288 fronts and I think 256 rears or something?

You wont have 256 rears :wink:

Another fail on my behalf LOL!
So far I have added up 164 though is that too much or too little? On ebay u can get a grooved/drilled set with pads for 140 etc?

I would avoid drilled and grooved discs, they tend to crack.
-
do you really need discs and pads? i'm sure the discs were in pretty good condition last time i saw your car
-
Dont forget the eurocarparts 25% disc aldo.
312mm upgrade is worth while.

Car has now done 135k I got the car when it had done 65k in 07 and never changed any of the brakes....
