Ford 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Hi does the VR6 golf from 1993 have the 288mm brake set up? And just to confirm they are narrower than the C VRs carriers. Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geo 0 Posted April 4, 2005 I don't think they got the 288 brakes until 95ish. A 93 would have 280s AFAIK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 4, 2005 Yeah, 288s came on Highlines and some MK4 Golfs. Unfortunately the 288 calipers are the same overal width as the 280 caliper/carrier setup. The 288s don't have that big brace bar thing. And users of 288s will find their standard spacer saver spare will not go over the 288s. You need a highline space saver....£21 from VW and then you swap the tyres over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted April 4, 2005 My '96 Mk3 GTI (revised interior) has 288mm fronts, but I don't know if the older GTIs did as well... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted April 4, 2005 My 94 L 16V mk3 is 280s. I think all the oval side repeater cars got 288s either with 8, 16V or VR engines. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
