Noob brake question...
« on: 10 April 2009, 18:56 »
What size discs are on the mk2 8v ('90 spec if it makes any difference)?? And would I be able to fit aftermarket 16v discs, EBC for example?? And would I be able to use the original carriers??

they are 239mm, you cant fit the 256mm discs from the 16v without using the 16v hubs, carriers and calipers

but again you need the hubs, drive flanges, discs, flexis, calipers and carriers

BUT it does make one hell of a differance :)
