Eat this 2 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 we 312s should be fine mate im happy with 288sthe vr isnt heavy so isnt bad on brakes Link to post Share on other sites
mannie 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I would go for the 4 pots with the 288 disc,it offers greater clamping force,less unspring wieght (compeares to the TT 312 ) aids better handling and still able to use the 15" wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I got a pair of Range Rover brembos im about to have fitted to my vr mate. i will let you know how i get on. I can get the calipers cheap still trying to source someone good to make up some carriers, although you might need 17s. "Charged" now well done i am jealous no roof AND a charger !!!!!!

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 312's stop the mk2 on its nose, and thats without ABS. Link to post Share on other sites
ben_notts 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 could you for example put scooby 4 pot calipers on with the correct carrier for a golf? Link to post Share on other sites

The Monk 50 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 If I were to purchase 312's, would I need to have caliper brackets made up? Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 from wot i remember if u got the late 288 set up all u need is the 312 carriers and discs and pads ,,,, but if u got the early one like i got u need the lot and the later hubs as the carrier bolt holes dont line up .....
