256mm rear brake setup

[dilbert]

Looking to fit my 256mm rear brakes to my mk4 gti at the weekend, the calipers/carriers was off a v5 mk4 golf, does this mean i have to run the spacers for the carriers to fit, as i know when the calipers/carriers are off the audi or v6 4 motion you have to run the spacers.

if the awnser is yes i have to run the spacers, are these the correct ones ?

Don't think you need spacers no. That's just for fitting the brakes from a 225 Audi TT.

cheers for your reply

Only thought as i notice this on the brake upgrade page : Rear brake upgrade:

The standard 232mm Solids can be upgraded for the 256mm Vented setup, the bigger caliper just bolts straight on. If the calipers/carriers have come off a Quattro/4 Motion then you will need some 6mm spacers.

As said no you dont need any spacers - you only need spacers if the 256mm rear brakes came from TT  / 4WD MK4.
