Supercharged 2 Posted February 3, 2009 Do you mean carriers?? If so then no, the G60 / VR6 ones are different to the 8v/16v ones as they take the smaller 256mm disc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sim0n_parker 0 Posted February 3, 2009 no the slider bolts that fit into the carrier that slide, the caliper then bolts to these sliders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 3, 2009 Oh sorry, I see what you mean now - hmmm I reckon they might be but they are part of the carrier according to ETKA so can't check - the only seperate parts you can buy are the boots for them... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sim0n_parker 0 Posted February 3, 2009 oh buggger, not what i wanted to hear tbh, going from a set of 288 calipers i could of used but would have had to have spacers etc on my wheels, to a set of 280's that would fit with no issues what so ever but are possibly useless if i cant swop the sliders over. cheers for looking mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 4 Posted February 3, 2009 I have a set of both ! just been in my cold workshop and stripped them both ! the micrometer doesnt lie , they are the same ! But are they the sameas the rears ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sim0n_parker 0 Posted February 3, 2009 rears? no im on about the both front vr6 280mm calipers and 16v calipers so your saying both are the same and i can use them, thank you very much, and cheers for measuring them up in your cold workshop thanks mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted February 3, 2009 They are very definitely the same as I've just converted my C to 280mm brakes from the normal 256mm setup, and I used the sliders from both sets to get a decent set of 4 without corrosion. Hope that helps :) Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
