I need a how to on upgrading brakes

[shaft69]

Obviously your cars an mk2 8v with 239mm brakes you WILL need to change the hubs, As carriers on 8v are built onto the hubs unlike 16v and g60 where carrriers are removable.  Done my 1990 8v and fitted corrado g60 front brakes, And master cyl with braided hoses. Very last mk2 8v had 256mm brakes

Few other things you should know, If your using BBS RA's you cannot use g60 callipers as they will touch inner wheel rim. Will have to use 16v callipers as i did on my old 16v. If you use 16v callipers g60 pads will not fit as g60 discs are 22mm thick as to 20mm on 16v calliper does open wide enough for pads. Two ways round it either, skim 2mm of the slides will  have to get engineer to do that or take 2mm of each of the pads faces as i did. sounds dodgy i know but if you want to fit them.

Just got home, It's a tad dark out here but It looks like I can unbot my carriers are there any other hubs that can swap the carriers>>

Mr 84_mk2_golf come and see me only live by wavertree and i'll take a look. PM me mate.  Unles they've been changed previous bigger brakes 256mm didnt come on to 16v till 89 (86-88 16v had 239mm) and 8v on run out models 1992.
