what size disc does a g60 take?

[cupra20v.t 0]

a mate of mine has a set of g60 brakes i can have which i would be looking to put on my mk3 but i need at least 280mm discs. does anyone know.

 

I know the vr6 brakes are 280 - 288 mm but i cant find a reasonable priced set of them.

 

cheers in advance.

Standard G60 discs are 280mm diameter.

cheers. i dont suppose you know the size of the discs on a mk3 8v

I'm not sure, I know some Mk3s had 280mm discs, but I don't know if all them do. It would be worth taking a wheel off and measuring it.

 

Actually, G60 discs are for 4 stud cars, I think your Mk3 Golf will be 5 stud, if so they won't be any use to you.

bugger your right there but if i use the g60 callipers and buy vr6 280mm discs this should work possibly?

I beleive it will, but hopefully somone can confirm it. I'm not so familier with VR6 bits.

g60 calipers and carriers are the same as the vr so you will be fine

you can get both 280mm and 288mm discs with 5 studs or if your running 17's you can fit 312mm off tt's or s3's with boxster or 996 calpiers with a bit of work

ideally i want porsche callipers. there is a company up the road from me that will do the conversion for me for 800quid that includes porsche calipers, braided hoses, pads and discs and custom carriers. but i cant afford that at the moment, so if i could find a pair of front calipers od fleabay i would wait and just use the guys custom carriers.
