Tris 0 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 my VR6 has 280mm discs but the caliper and pad are too big for the 280 so I tried a 288 in there and its perfect. someone has put the wrong ones in. so I have 288mm discs and pads. are there more than 2 options for the pad? one size for the 280 set up and one size for the 288?

legvw 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah i think thats it for pad sizes, 288mm are alot bigger pad. Thats a result anyway, finding you've got 288 instead of 280! Link to post Share on other sites
Tris 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 thats what I thought. the brakes were good before so should be better with the correct discs on.. just need to get me some red stuff pads now. it wont be seeing the road only track days. Link to post Share on other sites

RAPgolfvr6182 2 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 the 312mm conversion uses the same caliper as 288mm so u could up grade to 312mm discs n pads just need caliper spacers n to run 16" wheels Link to post Share on other sites
Tris 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I have 17inch with slicks and poss 16inch seat leon cupra 16s if they will fit with a spacer as they touch the front coilovers.. what is the spacer can you buy it or is a case of making something ? sounds like the way to go. 1st track day is booked for 19th July at castle combe Link to post Share on other sites
