Ive been reading up on the best brake upgarde for my mk2.
Its got 256mm on all readys its a 91j 16V
I want 280+
I know i can do this with just the discs & carriers from a g60 & use the 256 calipers
But ive also been told I can use the VR6 calipers and carriers with g60 discs.
Has anyone done this?
Has anyone got any advice on this issue!
I dont want to pay the 450+ for a four pot conversion!

The VR6 callipers and carriers fit straight on with the G60 discs..Ive got some sat in my garage waiting to put on mine when I can be bothered..I did a trial fit to make sure and the only thing to be careful with is the clearance of the VR calliper on the inside of your wheels..it's a case of some catch and some don't!!
Oh, by the way...the callipers for a 16v won't work with the G60 discs because the 280 discs are wider than the 256..I tried that aswell :wink:

Arent the VR6 Callipers and carriers 288 and the g60 discs 280??

The later VR6 brakes were 288 but the early ones were 280 ..don't know what year they changed :undecided:
If you put the later ones on I've been told you have to piss about with the pipes..don't quote me on that tho! :laugh:
