you need 312mm pads too

[Ridg]

you need 312mm pads too

pads are the same size, but you would need discs at which point you need new pads

[Wazzzer]

pads covered the whole of the 312mm disc when I got them, can't see them being the same size or they'd clash with the centre...

edit: you may be right looking at this

same breaking 'surface' just further away from the centre of the disc.

Just had a look in the maintenance sect.... it says that the 2.0 8v needs the hub changing & the 1.8 turbo doesnt.... what about the 1.8 20v n/a? does any one know?

i believe you don't need to change the hubs on the 1.8 n/a

one way to be sure is to measure the size of the disc - if its 288mm you're in luck

am almost certain it isnt.....280 i thinks!!
