and white gti polo - no you cant, as the polo gti uses fabia calipers and carriers, not golf4 ones, so you need new calipers, carriers, retaining clips, hoses, pads and disks to to the change

b*******s to that then what size are the discs standard??

i got everything brand new from vag parts apart from the disks and pads which are tarox items, full cost fitted, close to Â£700 for new

You can have 312's for less than half that price by the way

Incorrect

You can get all New 312 Calipers carriers, Discs and Pads for under Â£300 delivered, quick lik of red paint, and a litre of VAG brake fluid and you've got a 312mm conversion for under Â£350

This guy has them for sale on ebay regularily, goes by the username Golfturbo on a lot of the Forums, especially the MK4 forum.

He's sold heaps and heaps of the setups and they are always post on.

Thats what i got and they were absolutely brand spankin

I got 330mm 4 pots for 500 notes

Wheels to clear them cost a fortune though

That truly was a bargain!!!

Though Bill has some pretty keen pricing on Brembo's, you could near have 4pots for what Jeff paid

I was very lucky with my brakes - sold a new car to someone who had contacts with something to do with brembo and he sorted me out.

i never actually paid that andy, thats what they would retail at, though i did get them all from awesome and vagparts, i paid nothing like that

andy947 · Post by **andy947** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 11:44 pm

So why tell the boy they would cost Â£700 then????

Anyone can get a discount at both vagparts and awesome

Jeff GTi · Post by **Jeff GTi** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 12:59 pm

because andrew, if you pay standard price, as advertised on their site, thats what they would cost you,

no one offers discount these days, you gotta ask for it, and if you dont, the cost would be near by Â£700
