312 mm

[GTIANNIVERSARY16V]

Can you fit 312 mm brakes on the front?

[dubstar9]

I know that for 330mm the minimum wheel size is 17" and the Ibiza Cupra R 4 stud ran 305mm on 16" wheels.

sorry to highjack but as its a brake size thread do annis come with bigger brakes than normal gtis? also what size is standered gti 8v front brake disc ment to be?

[sharki786]

yes you can. If your gti is P plate or after it should have come with 288mm. Before P plate they came as 280mm and smaller. On all anni they are 288mm. If you want bigger brakes all you realy need is the 312 carriers a space plate made & 6mm longer bolts (if you braking is 288mm) it has been covered in the mmaintanance section have a lookie there.

Sweet, its a p reg anni.
My mates got the mk4 anni carriers, calipers discs etc.

[Dan_GTi8v]

if you want to use the mk4 calipers as well you will need some brake lines made up that have mk3 connections on 1 end and mk4 on the other. F17 BAD had some made up by a company called HEL cant remember what he paid now but it was pretty resonable

or just use the spacers on mk3 calipers as said above
