I just fitted Pagid front discs on my 8v, good discs good price but be careful buying from ECP as i had to spend a good while convincing them gti's were 5 stud and not 256mm........
Check their site it specs 4 stud 256mm discs for 8v gti  :grin:

Yeah, their site is quite confusing.

I still don't get it, which Golf's came with 256mm discs? As standards are all 239mm, aren't they? GTI's 280 and 288, and VR6 don't remember, lol...

My brakes were crap. Stock pads put in and after adjusting the rear brakes up the brakes in general are so much sharper and less travel!
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....
