So I need to rebuild my rear calipers soon as they are starting to seize and I managed to pick up a complete set of front and rear calipers for a good price on the bay - as a daily it makes sense to rebuild another set and then swap them over.
The front calipers that came are 288mm ATS calipers from the later models, I figured I would strip all 4 calipers down, rebuild them and get them power coated.
I know I need new hoses as the 288 uses banjo fittings, but do I need to get new front hubs or are the 280mm hubs the same? I have one side already so I'm almost there, this is what I currently have:

The rear carriers are on the way in another package hence why they are missing!

Nope just bolt on mod

I hoped they would be the same! That's great news, thanks mate!!!

same hubs were used on all 5 stud mk3's...
b.t.w I stock caliper rebuild kits and the 288 hoses for the mk3 http://oemandmore.co.uk/brake-callipers---carriers---seal-kits---hoses-320-c.asp (http://oemandmore.co.uk/brake-callipers---carriers---seal-kits---hoses-320-c.asp) and 5% off for forum members using GolfMk3 at checkout
