Mk4 Rear Brakes

[swfblade 0]

Just wondering, with the much talked about Mk4 rear caliper conversion, is it just the calipers? hmm, that dont make sence...lol

 

Ok, what I'm trying to get at is that I may have a spare set of brand new mk4 calipers and carriers, so was wondering if I can just slap them on my VR? Are the disc sizes different? I need new rear disc's anyway, so if they are, can i just get mk4 disc's and use them?

 

Final question, what size are the rear disc's on Mk4's & Corrado VR's?

Remember you need conversion hoses as well

for the best feel i have/other people have done, are standard rear discs, but use mk4 pads, you may have to shave about a mm off the pad, but the handbrake is an actual working hanbrake (yeh in a corrado :shock: )

and some conversion hoses from c&r enterprises about £35.

so can i stick the mk4 calipers and carriers on, and then do i use corrado discs, or Mk4 discs? are they the same size then? (they are from a 25th anni model, so i think are 256mm?)

Im surprised by this! Does no-one actually know if 256mm rear discs, calipers and carrires from a Mk4 will fit a C?

MK4 Rear discs do not have the taper bearings, there is a seperate hub and wheel bearing.

stick the mk4 rear callipers/carriers on with the conversion hoses from c&r, use standard corrado discs, but use mk4 rear pads with about 1-2mm shaved off. that is how i have done it :D

 

if unsure have a search, it's been discussed/done by hundreds of people.
