r32 front brake conversion
« on: 26 November 2012, 20:12 »
Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what I need to get in order to fit a set of r32 front brakes to my mk4 gti. Am I right in thinking I just need the r32 carriers and discs then a set of r32 front pads?

not 100 sure but i think the flexi hoses are different, but good excuse to go for braided lines

its sitting on a set of 18" audi tt wheels at the moment, so wheel size shouldn't be a problem, just need to know if I need the calipers and lines along with the rest of the stuff.

Yes you will need the calliper. Bigger and better with 2 pot goodness. They are considerably heavier mind you...

I wouldn't bother with the r32 brakes, really really heavy and not that much better tbh.
Either just go 312 or lcr brembo or big brake kit

Need discs, pads, calipers, carriers and maybe hoses also 18"+ wheels.

Echo what golfyste said...

For day to day use a set of 312mm's will be fine.
