Shaggy 0 Posted July 15, 2006 305mm discs with porsche 911 carrera 2 calipers?? what chance have i got of getting these to fit behind my D90s?? I know adapters will need to be made etc, but i am more concerned with the size of the discs & calipers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted July 15, 2006 You could adapt the calipers to work on some Ibiza Cupra R 305 discs (caliper adapters are readily available blank and ready to machine) as they are 4x100 and bolt staright onto your hub. How you will make the 5x130 discs fit a G60 is anyone’s guess. I wonder if the bell is deep enough to take a 4x100 to 5x130 adapter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted July 15, 2006 i have seen adapters similar to the H&R type adapters that allow an adapter to fit between the hub and the disc allowing fitment of the porsche disc, infact i think i have even seen a pic somewhere that shows this. I can probably get a set made up, as i am a bit of a dab hand on a CNC turning machine so i can prob make up some custom adapters... either that or i may be lucky and my adapters i have at the moment may work perfectly fine??

Crasher 3 Posted July 15, 2006 You would need to take account of the new wheel offset, he would need something like an ET50 but it would be a cool way of making it work. If you can machine adapters, you an also machine to mountings for the blank caliper carriers. I wish I had the time to do things like this these days, too busy!

Shaggy 0 Posted July 16, 2006 the wheels i would be using are the D90s which have an offset of ET52 so there is plenty to play with offset wise, its just it may be a tight fit when it comes to the diameter of the disc with the caliper... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Im sure that they will fit inside the wheel diameter wise mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaggy 0 Posted July 16, 2006 I am looking to buy all this for £550 what do you think?? worth it? vr6 fitment spacers etc, but other than that everything else is there i need... 2 X BREMBO CARRERA 2 CALIPERS 2 X 12" GENUINE PORSCHE BRAKE DISCS (USED ONLY FOR A FEW HUNRED MILES) 1 X SET OF LIGHTLY USED BRAKE PADS (USED ONLY FOR A FEW HUNRED MILES) 2 X CALIPER ADAPTERS (these allow the porsche calipers to be fitted to the vw hub) 4 X PORSCHE CALIPER BOLTS (you musn't use non Porsche items!) 2 X WHEEL ADAPTERS ( these were designed to fit inside the brake disc so are unseen from the outside!! - go from 5 x 100 vw fitment to 5 x 130 Porsche bolt spacing) 2 X WHEEL SPACERS (you may or may not need to use these depending on how the caliper lined up with the disc once fitted on your application) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 17, 2006 If you use the Porsche discs, watch they don't foul the ball joint as they have a very deep offset. You'd be better off with seperate bells and rotors to get the offset right. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted July 17, 2006 the adapter fits inside the disc to push it out and away from the ball joint AFAIK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 17, 2006 Ah right, in that case you should be OK. Just passing on what I discovered with my AP discs. Had to grind a few mill off the ball joint! Thankfully there is enough meat on them to get away with it, safely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted July 17, 2006 so would you say £550 is an ok price to pay?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted July 17, 2006 cool if you can do it then so should i!! will have to look into it in the future, (if i still keep her)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Well its the only thing left i ve got to do really, and then i am finished with the car, so i can have a bit of fun and do a few trackdays... the brakes would melt in less than one lap with my current setup... :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted July 18, 2006 I am not happy just got outbid by someone that aint even going to put them onto a car!! looks like the bloke that outbid me has an ebay shop and will sell them on again!! Oh Well Nevermind! :x I had originally contacted the seller about the brakes and arranged to end the auction early @ £550 , didnt hear from him for 2 days so didnt get these beasts in the end! :( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&item=320006243793&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
