Which replacement front callipers?

Recommended Posts

Hey folks,

 

Looking on Eurocarparts for a replacement pair of front callipers.

 

I can see two different Pagid parts with different prices, any idea what the difference is? Are they both remanufactured OE parts?

 

Here are links to each front right parts:

ChrisL, what's the turnaround on 'em and for how much? Any way I can get a pair now and send mine off for exchange?

I sent my G60 front and rear calipers including carriers and it took about 4 weeks at the time I done mine, which was back in September. I was really pleased with the end product. It cost me about £280 which I thought was quite reasonable as they came back like new. The best thing is to give them a call.

Sorry can't lookk at Ecp at moment site down... But they are what they call remanufactured. I bought a set as a spare pair while I had big red do me a set. You may be lucky to get two decent ones or like me one decent calliper and one rather rubbish calliper that obviously was off a different car calliper had been very rusty before it was remanufactured... All the writing had gone. Remanufactured calipers are shown by a drilled indent with a slot drill. One set had drilled holes for cooling wings the other didn't.

 

Are fronts still obsolete at dealer and vwspares

 

Edit answer to you question about Ecp it brake disc thickness.. Look at the technical data. Think you need 22mm vented. Not the smaller solid. For a late vr6 but not sure for a 1992 but do check.

bugger that, get some 312's instead. i picked up mine for £100 posted. calipers carriers discs and pads. came with standard brake lines too, but might as well go braided. you need some 6mm spacers and some 10.9 bolts but i got these for around £12.

 

dont know why they go so cheap on ebay!!

Thanks delfinis38!

 

Yep, you guys are right about the 312s. However, I'd like to have something standard and working to take the car back to if I need and I've got 15"s with plenty of tread left on.

 

Next year I'll be investing in some 16"s and then a Porsche-Brembo 4 pot setup for the front.
