Looking to replace the front discs and pads on my 6R BlueGT.
Does anyone know what size disc I need? There seems to be 3 options, 256mm, 288mm and 312mm.
I've recently changed the back pair to some Brembos and now that GSF have another 60% sale, I thought I'd treat the front too
Thanks,
BlueGT Front Brake Disc

Well 256mm not possible, 288mm probably, 312mm normally only for GTI.
You really do need to check proper brake manufacturer's websites to find out which brakes your car has.

Hi Marko
Did you have any issues with the 288mm front brake discs fitting? I’ve ordered myself some and the garage I took it to fit them said they were too small?
Thanks in advance
