G60 Front brake prices - disc, caliper, carrier

[StuartFZR400 0]

Converting the 16v 2.0 to the G60 set and am unsure if I've got the right prices...

 

VAG on the phone today:

- Discs £34/each

- Calipers £42/each

- Carriers £73/each

So for 2 of each, plus VAT, comes to £352.

 

Someone thought that the Carriers might be under £100/pair at VAG?

 

GSF any better?

 

Did the G60 brakes change at any time? Would '93 G60 brakes fit a 2.0L?

Second hand is the way ahead.

 

Ive just sold my 280mm calipers and carriers for £45 delivered..

:shock: , well seems the way to go then, although I'd want NEW calipers - so the VAG ones will do.

 

Spoke to GSF, they only do the discs. A fair price of £23/each. Any feedback on the Brembo's?

Brembos are OK.

 

When I replaced the front disks on my G60 about 2 years ago, I went for GSF supplied Zimmermanns, which for some strange reason only laste less than a year.

 

I got them replaced within warranty with Brembos, which I'm still running.

Try Vag parts for your calipers if you prefer new ones, got to be cheaper than the stealers

StuartFZR400, I bought second hand callipers and carriers from a Mk3 Golf GTI in a breakers for £100 all in.

 

I'd certainly buy the carriers second hand if I was you, even if you go for brand new callipers.
