enbee23 0 Posted November 21, 2007 I have a set of 312mm front calipers/carriers on the way and would like to upgrade the rest of the braking system to suit. Questions: Is there an upgrade for the rear brakes using the VAG parts bin? I'm guessing a regular set of Goodridge hoses for a C won't be right at the front with 312s, what do I ask for? I've looked at the various brake disc options available and am preferring VW factory discs all round, is this wise? Do Pagid still make the "Fast Road" pads? If not, what is the replacement version called? Any other tips or advise? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted November 21, 2007 Look in the link below Nick, should tell you what your looking for, for the rears you'll be looking for MK4 brakes http://the-corrado.net/wiki/index.php/312mm_brakes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enbee23 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Bill. I've seen the 312 Wiki, ta. Just trying to clear up a couple of details I'm still not sure about. Brakes have got to be 110% right. Do you mean Mk4 calipers only or change to the later Mk4 hub and bigger discs too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anton Sobriquet 0 Posted December 7, 2007 I'd also like to know - I'm about to tackle my rears and go 312 front, too. Sorry to hijack the thread but can anyone help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Edwards 0 Posted December 8, 2007 For a straight swap, late mk3 items fit straight on and have an improve handbrake mechanism. Mk4s are (allegedly) a bit siezure prone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anton Sobriquet 0 Posted January 11, 2008 I've heard that the aluminium 20V Mk4s are the caliper of choice and can be had for about £40-50 from the scrappie. Apparently, they plug straight in using a Goodrich Mk2 to Mk4 conversion line kit. They're apparently the same as Mk3s, but they're aluminium not steel. I am hoping to run a GB on the forum here for a 280mm Rear Brake Upgrade Kit, subject to collective enthusiasm, which works with stock, Mk3 or Mk4 calipers fitted on all Corrado models. It also works on Mk2 and Mk3 Golfs and various others. Check it out here:- http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=64299&st=0&sk=t&sd=a If enough people sign up to it (min 20), we can have the kit for £205 each, which represents a saving of about £100 on retail.
