Fitting 312mm S3 brakes onto early 16v

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Have been looking into this alot with varying degrees of success. Have read up on redrilling the rotors to 4x100 fitment, and read plenty of threads on converting the 5x100 set-ups to run the 312mm S3 brakes. Here comes the tricky part, the only reason I'm contemplating the swap is because I have a complete 2003 S3 to salvage for parts. Wondering what my options are and hoping there's someone who's knowledgeable in this area.

 

Was wondering whether the 5x100 hubs from the S3 could be swapped over or anything that would make this work. And before everyone swoops to point out that i should just swap to a VR subframe.... there are very few VW wreckers to acquire parts from here and quite high freight costs for bulky items sent around the country. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Ross
