So I know I need 16v hubs to run these. I know where I can get the hubs off a seat gti 8v and was wondering whether they have the 280 brakes or is it just abf seats that have these?
-
i had a seat gti 8v that had 256mm brakes, but upgraded to 280s without having to change hub. hope that helps
-
Yeah that's what I needed to know cheers.
So the 256 hubs would be worth having as I all ready have calipers and then is it just discs and pads from a 280mm car?
-
yeah thats right , the hubs will take the caliper. just get some 280 discs like you said.
-
You need 280mm carriers also

This.
Been down Stag Lane then? :grin:
Early G3 GTIs have 280mm fronts IIRC. So hubs and calipers off the Seat, carriers off an early G3 GTI.
Check the diameter of the Seat brakes first though - they fitted bigger brakes to some of the later stuff - you *may* get lucky.
Don't forget to replace your master cylinder with a 22mm one, too.

Yes stag lane :wink: I compared them to the golf 3 gti up there and they looked different that's why I was hoping they d be 280. It was a p reg gti 8v
I got given some 280 calipers from a mk4 diesel with carriers so hopeing they'd fit.
Suppose I could just get the lot and go 256 for a bit. The 239 are pants
-
239s are just terrible.
Golf3 changeover year is 1995 going from 280-288mm fronts. Beavis says so, so it's probably right.
