mk2 GTi brakes on mk3?

[Ibiza125]

Would 280mm brakes off a mk2 GTi fit my car? Just be the same as fitting Cupra brakes need the carriers to suit?


Thanks,

I thought they were the same as the 16v gti brakes anyway?

I believe Sports are 256mm

I believe Sports are 256mm

i thought the same, just wanted to be sure it's a bolt on mod as the smaller 239mm has different hub/bearing carriers

in fact if it's lucas brakes (256) iirc all you need is the 280mm frame itself

 

[antnee]

You mean the disk? Or is it different carriers?

 

[Fl@pper]

smaller ones have the caliper mounting built in to the carrier whereas the 256/280 have a bolt on frame that the caliper then fits to

 

[Ibiza125]

So would 280mm discs fit my carriers or would I have to get them as well?

I suppose I would have to get bigger as it would hold the caliper further away letting the bigger disc fit.

 

[Fl@pper]

239 are a built in hub/frame

256 bolt in small diameter

280 bolt in large diameter

to convert 256-280 you'll need frames and discs for it to all line up

 

[antnee]

Flapper-whats the frame? Is it the caliper carriers or are the hubs already drilled for the calipers?

 

[Fl@pper]

caliper carriers are held on to the hub 2 bolts then the caliper fits to that

ill post a pic up later

Sweet so I just need some cupra carriers then (or golf G60, etc)

I was just reading a similar thread, http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62853&highlight=driveshaft

and Stu seems to think that the calipers need changing, but the carriers are the same

Im confused now

 

[Fl@pper]

difference in terminology that's all



wheel bearing housing on 239mm discs fits the caliper direct as the caliper carrier is built in (2 part)

256/280 is just a bearing housing on its own with a bolt on frames/carriers which the caliper then fits onto with slider pins (3 part)



if you have 256's (pretty sure it is but check) and get a 280 caliper set with frames/carriers it's a bolt on job

if you have 239's you'll need bearing housings from a 256/280 to go with it


send me an email and ill forward a pic to help ?

Bump for this thread. My mechanic said the brakes will need doing soon.

Flapper I sent you an email after your last post, but had no reply
