ashmk3 0 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I would also like to know this would be a good info thread. I'm not sure if it's just the calipers or if it's mk4 discs and mk4 bearings or if there all the same. Also what hoses to use as good ridge sell a kit for the mk3 specifically for mk4 rears and 312mm fronts. Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 0 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 you need the mk4 rear calipers and a set of good ridge mk4 to mk2 rear hosesI have a set of mk4 rears going spare Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 The callipers fit right onto the stock mk3 carriers and the hoses need to have banjo ends instead of screw on ends, as said companies like goodridge make hoses specifically for it, or any braided hose maker would make them for you if need be Link to post Share on other sites
