V33DUB 0 Posted July 8, 2010 Hi all, I'm going to refurb the front brakes on my 8v.... (256 size) I have... Caliper Seal Kit Caliper Paint Pads Goodridge Hoses Discs are still good I've read that the caliper slider bolts are not available on their own but that rear Audi calipers are the same and are sold separately. Is there any similar solution for the fronts? Anything else I should be doing while there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 8, 2010 check the bleed nipples aren't seized, you may need new ones of them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V33DUB 0 Posted July 9, 2010 Does anyone know what the 8v caliper is? I believe it's girling but the "54" is the 280mm one isn't is.... does the 256 one have a name as such? Also, which other cars have the same caliper? From what I've read late golf mk2's do? Is this correct? Any others? Thanks for the help as always Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
