Very retarded Q sorry!!
« on: 05 June 2009, 18:27 »
I've done my search button research on a mk2 brake upgrade and I know what I need...4stud hub 280 caliper and carrier etc etc
My question is...when I get to the scrappy and I find say a nice early mk3 golf....how do I tell if it has the golden 256+ hub?? (que laughter!!) Is it just the GTI, corrados etc basically sports model becasue dont some polos have it too?

All help much appreciated as you can tell   :grin:

the 256mm and 280mm hubs have caliper carriers bolted to them. 

you'll be looking for golf 2  16v's,    90's passats, corrados , seat cordobas ( 280mm )

Golf3 is 5 stud and different hubs.  Unless you're going to convert to 5-stud then you don't want a Golf3. 

Danny's listed out the donors you need to check on.

Provided you have a GTI you only need front brakes to be upgraded.

I know about the mk3 golf being 5 stud dunna worry...just thought the early ones were 4.

And I've got my list of donor cars that have them on for when I go scrappy searching I just wanted to doubly make sure that when I thought I had found one that was the 256/280, I could check to make sure I actually had!

Cheers for your help
