:oops: just been GSF and thought they gave me the wrong pads for my corrado G60,,, I never new they were the same as 16V golf ones, :oops: i was fo some reason sure they were bigger,, :?

so if someone wanted to do a g60 brake conversion on a golf 16V would they only need to get hold of the brake calliper carriers?

and not the carriers and the callipers? if the pads are the same then maybe the callipers are?

The calipers are slightly different. The 280 discs are 22mm thick as opposed to the 20mm thick 256 discs. Some pads will not fit 256 calipers with 280 discs, others will. You can of course take a bit off the pads to make them fit :wink:

 

I had some EBC pads and they had an anti squeal shim bonded to them. With that removed they fitted ok, I just used some copper grease to do the job instead.

You have got the wrong ones if its the fronts were talking about... It should say on the side of the box what models they fit and the G60 ones are the same as the VR6 - mine are FR - 5051 F (the fast road variety)

64520A are for the Corrado 16v & NOT for a G60 - the website (in this instance) is correct.

 

G60 front pads are the same as VR6 ones.
