1999 Polo Variant / Estate 256 or 239 mm discs confusion

Hey guys, I recently change the pads and front discs on my 99 Estate 1.6 (75HP) and managed to cook my brakes three times in a row afterwards.

Re: Update - lowered with AP setup! (white 1.6 estate)

Wagon hits the ground - finally! Today I managed to get the new setup on - I went for AP setup (springs and shocks combo) which proved to be a great investment.

In addition, I would love to install a camber/caster plate on top to set it up correctly. Now, since the Estate version is pretty rare and people don't seem to b...

Update - lowered with AP setup! (white 1.6 estate)

Hi folks! After being without a car for over a year, I decided to get myself a usefull car for a change :) I decided to go for a Polo 6N Estate (two dogs :P) with 1.6 engine. Found a nice one just outside where I live - white, just serviced, a tad under 100K miles made. The car seemed in pretty good...
