DanA 0 Posted May 1, 2006 I'm just about do the rear discs\bearings and put MK4 calipers on. After much searching around i've found the best pads are the Pagid Fast Road MK3 GTI ones, does anyone have the GSF part number to hand ?? Thanks, Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valerian 0 Posted May 1, 2006 all models 84 to 95 part number 64601F £26.50 plus Vat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Are you sure they are the MK3 pads ? They come up as MK2 on the GSF site: LINK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 2, 2006 Aaaaactually - the Mk4 ones are the best ones to get :lol: You can just about squeeze them into the calliper so you might as well bung them on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Aaaaactually - the Mk4 ones are the best ones to get Ah, another spanner in the works :) So, anyone know the part number for those ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA 0 Posted May 2, 2006 There seems to be 2 types of pads for the mk4: 64329F - BRAKE PAD SET-PAG.FAST RD 64327F - BRAKE PAD SET-PAG.FAST RD The 64329F are for most models and the 64327F are for the V5 and the 1.8 150bhp Turbo. Which ones do i get ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 2, 2006 So long as the friction material is the same thickness and the pad profile is the same, either will do. I had GSF get *all* of the MK2/MK3/MK4 based pads out and we compared them on the counter. Apart from the very late MK4s with the 256mm vented setup, the pads were all identical in profile. The only difference was the friction material thickness. Or get them from the dealer if doubt, they're better anyway actually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 2, 2006 Yep - the dealer MK4 ones have the adhesive backing but you need to sand them down a bit to fit.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're careful in avoiding the piston seal to pinch on the caliper/pad, you can wind the piston in far enough to get the MK4 pads over 10mm discs no worries ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Thanks everyone, i've got the mk4 pads. I've just realised they are normal ones instead of fast road. How much difference does this make, should I swap... or just stick with these ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 6, 2006 Dan, the new ones don't say Fast Road on the box but if the part number ends in F then they are FR's... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Just checked the part number and its T-5075 so they are't fast road ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
