Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 17 May 2008, 16:00: Yes, although you'll need the calipers (you'll also have to bleed the brakes), carriers, discs & pads. It's an expensive mod & is a bit overkill, IMO, as the turbo is a lot lighter than the R32 (unless you're planning to run 300 + bhp). Plus, replacement discs are bespoke, IIRC, so therefore will cost a fortune to replace. You'll also need 18" wheels if you haven't got some already. (Maybe SOME 17's may fit, but I can't remember).

Best option for your Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ would be the 312 set-up (easier upgrade) & spend Ã‚£120 on some decent pads, such as the amazing Ferodo DS2500's. :afro:
