brake upgrade

[Azz turbo 0]

i have a 16v turbo running standard 1.8 16v brakes. i am looking for a up grade. what is the best size to go to. it is 4 stud and my alloys 16 inch.

G60 / 280mm is cheapest way to go - parts from an ibiza are best as they will be newer...

 

With a turbo tho and the bigger wheels then you probably want to go for the brembo setup with 305mm discs - more expensive now tho and is about £950 with parts from Seat (new) - maybe cheaper thru Badger5

how much is the g60 setup, is the g60 set up the same as the vr6 setup.

The G60 uses the Lucas / Girling G54 caliper (same as the Corrado VR6 and bvarious other Vag cars) - The 4 stud 280mm discs are unique to the G60.

 

Calipers and Carriers in good condition usually go for about £100

 

The other option is the Girling 60 calipers and cariers as fitted to the Audi S2 with 280mm G60 brake discs - these are a twin pot caliper tho so unless you have ABS already you will need to also replace the master cylinder.

do the S2 calipers and carriers bolt straight to the 16v hub? Its a '93 16v(sorry to hijack the thread)

Out of interest, is that fit an ABS MC from a G60 or VR6?

... just pondering, as my '91 G60 is non-ABS.

Yeah the carriers will fit the 16v Hub ok...

 

MC - not really sure tbh, The ABS ones have more outlets and i'm not sure you can block them??
