Title: 256 upgrade options
Post by: paultownsend on 15 May 2007, 20:18

i know its been done to death before, but what options are there to upgrade from the above, under 15'' wheels?
iv just done the hub conversion from my 8v hubs.and seen as though the disks and pads i got with the conversion are shagged, was thinking of going to 280 sometime soon, but the g60 kit is quite expensive.so, iv heard a few things about using mk3 gti or vr6 calipers/carriers?

any information would be great, Paul

Early VR6 Callipers and carriers go straight on and are the same items as the G60 ones. You should be able to pick up a set for under £100 and then just have them refurbed so you have worry free braking.
