GOLF MK3 GL ESTATE TO 20 VALVE TURBO :-)

Mk4 rear calipers bolt straight onto the mk3 stub axle but you'll need the conversion hoses as the mk4 calipers have banjo fittings. The mk4 brakes arent anymore powerful but do benefit from been made from alloy which means less unsprung weight and they also tend to seize up less often as a bonus.

Cool, I'll keep my eye out for a pair then

As already said, the mk4 rear caliper swap is a must in my opinion

I get the lines made up by a company called Hel

U use the mk3 carriers, in only need the mk4 caliper it fits as tho it was made to fit

[DanChave]

Awesome, It's on my list

What are the MK4 calipers like?

Only experience with them is one totally seized and one bleed nipple thread wrecked but the MK4 I have is a POS. Also they aren't very strong. Had two calipers but only one cable so may have to do the other side.

Just wondering for my MK3 and wondering if there is still something off with the MK4. Cheers

The mk2 and MK3 rear calipers are bab their sieze for fun

the mk4 items (well we say mk4 but they are still used on the mk6, audi, seat , skoda etc) are aluminium so will not ever seize

im not sure what issues your having? but they are the best calipers for the rear

You saying the rear mk4 caliper never seize? Come along to the mk4 section and read the seized caliper threads

Top install Looks like it just came out the factory!!!

cheers dude

the carriers on the mk4 may well seize, they are afterall just the same crap metal as the ones on the mk3 where the pins seize

as far as im aware iv never had any issue with the mk4 calipers and iv a set on my mk3 and we have owned 3 mk4's

either way, they are a huge improvement over the older types found on earlier golfs etc

on the flip side I've never had a mk2 caliper seize on me out of 6 cars, but my only mk4 has a seized rear at the moment  the corrado ones used to seize in the winter but the cables were f**ked and iced up 

light is good though
