Yes I am only freshing the bits on my golf as I am going to be upping the power to around 300bhp and thought I might as well, to make sure they are the right quality ones and more importantly nice and shiney. Apparently the previous owner changed stuff not that long ago, hence why I am thinking on sticking them on the Corrado. Just seems an easy way to get 288mm brakes and a wider range of wheels (that i have already) to fit the corrado, esp as they will be going spare. Think i will only have to get some drive shafts and the rear stub axles. As for the wider track, I do have a late Corrado, which the wheels are hiding in the arches and the are 7's so that might help then!!!

Was only thinking as i was struggling to find any decent wheels for my car, and i want better brakes up front. It also happens that i am replacing most of those bits on the front of my Golf VR6 as i refresh and uprate things ready for the little power increase i am planning on So i can use my VR6 set up and it all pretty much bolts on. As for track work, nah this car isn't fast enough, will be saving that for my 1.0 polo (with a few mods of course) or the charged VR if its fast enough. This car is just another daily, but i need it to stop well and look reasonable!!!

Hi, Forgive the newbie question but it's my first corrado. I have had a look through and done a search but found nothing. So I have a 4 stud corrado and thinking of going 5 stud, how easy and what's needed for it? I have some 288mm brakes and hubs off my vr6 as I am going for Porsche brakes on that, so hoping to use them if possible? Thanks

Hi, Thought i would stick a post up here, as i have just purchased a Black 2.0 16v, new to Corrado's but have had plenty of VW's in the past, and currently have a Mk1 Derby, 2 x mk2 Polo's (both going G40 soon) and a Golf VR6 in the process of a S/C 2.9 build as the last engine had bore wash. Its got stacks of history, fairly decent paint (having had a blow over in the last couple of years) and is fairly standard, barring some winter wheels and a drop of 30mm, which does actually look like anything at all. I will post pictures up when i have had a chance to wash and polish it this weekend or next, oh and when its daylight too!!! So i will be asking some stupid questions over the next few weeks as I get to grips with the car. My plans for the car include sorting out a few rattles, the sounds and then a drop on some nice wheels. It does need a little bit of paint sorting, but is fairly presentable as it. Cheers Mark
