Looking to fit my 256mm rear brakes to my mk4 gti at the weekend, the calipers/carriers was off a v5 mk4 golf, does this mean i have to run the spacers for the carriers to fit, as i know when the calipers/carriers are off the audi or v6 4 motion you have to run the spacers.
if the awnser is yes i have to run the spacers, are these the correct ones ?

Don't think you need spacers no. That's just for fitting the brakes from a 225 Audi TT.

cheers for your reply
Only thought as i notice this on the brake upgrade page : Rear brake upgrade:
The standard 232mm Solids can be upgraded for the 256mm Vented setup, the bigger caliper just bolts straight on. If the calipers/carriers have come off a Quattro/4 Motion then you will need some 6mm spacers.

v5 isn't 4wd is it?

dont think so, but just thought i would double check
-
Think you'll be fine mate
-
As said no you dont need any spacers - you only need spacers if the 256mm rear brakes came from TT / 4WD MK4.

V5 isn't 4wd :wink:
its 6mm spacers to go between the calliper and the carriers, only for 256mm brakes off 4wd models

cheers for all the reply you lot, very helpfull, why isit the 4wd carriers are different ? are they spaced different because they run different hubs or something ?
