Lizard Racing 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Only if you want run 18s Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 get some brembo/wilwood etc 4 or 6 pots instead then can run 17s then.....or even TT 312mm brakes then you can run anything from certain 15s upwards Link to post Share on other sites
jonny6 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 i knowwhat your saying bud , but ive got these mk5 r32 brakes front and rears for 150 quid. anything else is gonna cost me dollar. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Fair enough but 18s on a mk3 look wrong and will affect handling and performance Link to post Share on other sites
jonny6 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 i agree fully mate , just wondsered if you could use 17's . clearly not. Link to post Share on other sites

Eat this 2 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 the pcd is diffrent for a start mate Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 yeah you'd need 2 pieces discs so you could fit the correct PCD bell so already that price shoots upfor the money you want to spend mate, this is your best bet really so long as you have the later version 288mm brakes http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi/?html=learnmore.html&productID=518 Link to post Share on other sites
Lizard Racing 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Mate just buy them and sell them on, they must be worth twice that, then you could afford what ever you want. Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Anyone know what size Mk4 R32 discs are? Im planning to fit the front discs next year along with some Brembo 4 pots. I take it they'll fit straight on? My cars got 17's fitted Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mk4 are 334mm and mk5 are 345mm Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Cool so the Mk4's might fit then - I've seen that the Cupra R discs are 323mm so they might be better for me Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 All depends on the caliper clearance as the discs will fit themselves as 334s are 13.5" diameter Link to post Share on other sites
