chris001 0 Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, my rear callipers are pretty much knackered and have heard of people fitting Mk4 rear callipers. Was wondering excatly what do I need to carry out the conversion, where's best to get the parts from and roughly how much would it cost ? Any advice much appriciated ! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 4, 2010 Basically you need the 2 calipers and a pair of MK2-MK4 conversion hoses from Goodridge... http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info. ... ts_id=1530 http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info. ... ts_id=1531 The above should cost about £130 + the Hoses are £25 so you can do it with brand new bits for around £150 and no exchange required on the calipers! If old I would consider also doing new rear discs, Pads, wheel bearings, ABS rings, splash shields and handbrake cables - another £150 or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris001 0 Posted January 4, 2010 That was quick ! :) Do I need new carriers as well ? What about disc's and pads ? Do I need Mk4 items or do I use Corrado ones ? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 4, 2010 No, everything else Corrado including the carriers. A few of us have changed carriers now due to corrosion and pads seizing up but they usually clean up fairly well... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris001 0 Posted January 4, 2010 Tidy ! My carriers are quite badly corroded so would need to change them. I spose my best bet would be to keep an eye out in the for sale section fo a set or can you still get them new ? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
