Brake set up question
« on: 17 May 2012, 19:26 »
Firstly, will mk3 16v brake callipers fit on g60 carriers? And would the carriers fit onto a 1.6 mk3.

I'm looking to up grade my brakes but wanting to stay 4 stud.

And also what 4 stud disc set up is best for the rear brakes?

Cheers
Josh

G60 is 280mm and 16v is 288mm. Not sure if calipers fit the carriers.

Pre 95 8v's had 280mm brakes so they should. However I'm not 100% sure if the 16v calipers or even the 8v ones may fit, so wait for someone to confirm.
